Our next Fundraising Director’s Network quarterly event is an online breakfast panel session on 5th June.  We will be joining forces again with the UK Fundraising Leadership Assembly and have a fantastic panel from both sides of the pond!

Our hot topic is Income Generation - A Fresh Perspective and the session will be moderated by Jane Trenaman.  Together we will delve into a broader view of funding models that build on traditional fundraising.  And we will explore the opportunities and obstacles that come with exploring income generation through a slightly wider lens.

Participate in a vibrant debate with your fundraising leadership peers on:

• The rise of ‘Commercial’ or ‘Income Generation' roles that transcend the traditional remit of Fundraising or Development.
• Why appropriate commercialisation of organisational expertise and service offerings can be so strongly resisted.
• Exploring innovative funding models blending the best of corporate partnership, community fundraising and social entrepreneurship.
• Examples of where new income generation approaches worked - and when they didn’t.
• Experience when encountering cultural and siloed resistance and lessons learned along the way.

Our fantastic panel will be sharing their insights and participating in active Q&A:

• Ciara Feehely, Head of Communications & Fundraising, Vita Ireland  
• Jason Jaspal, Assistant Director of Business Development, Samaritans GB 
• Andrew Bathgate, Co-Founder of Good Innovation 
• Aidan Stacey, Commercial Director Irish Wheelchair Association

We look forward to seeing you there!
