s [International Advisory Panel](https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/schools/plymouth-business-school/rogare-advisory-panel)

The Critical Fundraising (Ireland) Report will be the first to be published: in 
August at the Summer School in Dublin run by Rogare associate member [Ask Direct](http://www.askdirect.co.uk/).
Ask Direct’s Damian O’Broin will be joined on the Irish task group by panel members
Colin Skeehan, Simon Scriver, and Gaby Murphy, who is co-ordinating the project.

 

Scottish fundraising consultant Mafe Marwick has joined the International Advisory
Panel to co-ordinate the Critical Fundraising (Scotland) Report. She will be joined
by Scottish AP members Margaret Clift-McNulty and Gary Kernahan and is currently
putting together the task group for the Scottish report, with a view to publishing
in October.

 

The team for the Critical Fundraising (USA) Report is currently being assembled 
from the American members of the International Advisory Panel, and will be led by
Barbara O’Reilly of [Windmill Hill Consulting](http://www.whillconsulting.com/).

 

All Critical Fundraising Reports will follow the same format, with the task groups
compiling SWOT and PESTLE analyses for fundraising in their countries, and selecting
some of those factors for more detailed analysis. Critical Fundraising Reports are‘
live’ documents that will be regularly updated.

 

Ian MacQuillin, Rogare director, said:

 

> “Because these reports are being devised and collated by fundraisers, they represent
> what practitioners see as the biggest issues and challenges facing their country.
> We may see lots of commonalities emerge across countries, but we might equally
> see some very country-specific challenges too.”

 

The CFR (National) Reports will be part of a series of reports to be compiled by
members of Rogare’s Advisory Panel over the coming years, which will also include
CFR (Method) Reports, looking challenges for types fundraising, such as telephone
and major gifts; and CFR (Issues) Reports, which will explore issues such as regulation
and ethics.
