The archives of the UK Fundraising Forum now contain all messages featured on the
FundUK e-mail discussion list from 1996 to 2003, forming a valuable collection of
around two thousand fundraisers’ and consultants’ experience and advice.
The messages
have been entered manually into the UK Fundraising Forum, a free discussion forum
for fundraisers and fundraising advisers. This process has taken over a year, but
at last you can now search every single message to see if another fundraiser has
already asked or answered your query.

There are nearly 4,000 messages posted on over 1,400 different topics, making it
the UK’s largest online forum for charity fundraisers. FundUK started in 1996 and
was the first discussion forum for charity fundraisers in the UK: another list was
set up before it but was only available to university fundraisers.

 

 

The process of entering all the messages into the new Web-based forum not only ensures
that new users can benefit from past messages. It means that all the different discussions
have been grouped into threads: for example, sometimes several topics were being
discussed at the same time on the FundUK e-mail list. Now, it is much easier to 
follow the thread of a particular discussion.

 

 

There is no charge to use the Forum. We’re pleased to see that it has spawned many
other e-mail fora by fundraisers, especially some of the special interest and regional
groups of the Institute of Fundraisers. We remain open to requests from groups of
fundraisers to set up and run new fora or fundraisers for their members.
