We’re Fundraising Everywhere and Everywhere+.
With over 30 years’ of fundraising experience between us, we know fundraisers dedicate their
careers to good causes…but often without access to formal training or support.
Fundraising Everywhere is a community for people like you - fundraisers and future charity leaders - to:
● find community and make connections
● discover new developments and strategies
● learn from experts and one another
Then get back to work with improved clarity, confidence and conviction.
Run by fundraisers for fundraisers, Fundraising Everywhere helps you raise your confidence, your skills and charity income.
