UK Fundraising Forum has launched a discussion forum especially for professional
fundraisers who work on their own.
Following a recent vote by members of the UK 
Fundraising Forum, we now have a special forum particularly for the many fundraisers
who find themselves solely responsible for fundraising for an organisation.

It can be a lonely and stressful responsibility, so the Forum has been designed 
to at least put such fundraisers in touch with each other. The Forum as a whole 
has been designed to spread best practice, and is divided into a range of specialist
categories. Members felt that there was a need for one category particularly for
solo fundraisers, so we have launched that today.

 

 

Messages, as always, will be moderated by UK Fundraising’s Howard Lake. Messages
posted on the forum should be specifically related to the challenges of being a 
solo fundraiser. Questions about techniques and specialisms e.g. direct marketing,
technology, and grantseeking should continue to be posted in the relevant categories.

 

 

The Forum as whole is designed for professional fundraisers, whether paid or unpaid.
While many volunteer fundraisers use it and are welcomed, the Forum is not intended
to be used by individuals who are trying to raise funds for charity.
