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.

IoF #ChangeCollective's long term vision is for an equal, diverse and inclusive profession, where no matter what your personal characteristics, including gender identity, ethnicity, faith, age, class, sexuality, age or disability, or any and all intersectionalities of those characteristics, you will be “the right fit” for the fundraising profession.
Simon talks to Jonathan Levy (twitter.com/JLevyUK) - one of the faces of the campaign, National Convention board member, award-winning disability campaigner and Dyspraxia Foundation trustee.
