One of the sessions I attended at the Institute of Fundraising Convention yesterday
mentioned Sovereign Wealth Funds as a potential hyper donor. Never mind major donors,
we are talking huge donations here, starting in the tens of millions. Sovereign 
Wealth Funds are investment funds or arrangements, owned by the government. Is this
something worth considering? If you have any excellent corporate connections, royal
patrons, presidents, etc., this could be an avenue you could successfully explore.
MPs were also suggested as a possible route to explore.

 

Some funds are more transparent than others, and you might not want to touch some
with a barge pole.

I don’t know about you, but I want to find out more about this.

 

All the best
