Building Relationships With Invitation-Only Trusts

Ever found a funder that seems like the perfect fit, only to learn they don’t accept unsolicited applications?

When you’ve exhausted all the “obvious” funding avenues, engaging some key invitation-only funders can feel like a tantalising way of broadening your funding base. But how can you get on their radar, especially if they don’t even welcome initial enquiries?

Getting invitation-only funders to take notice isn’t quick or easy, but it is possible. Over the years Mike has seen charities do this brilliantly, and helped organisations to open doors that they previously thought were bolted firmly shut.

In this session Mike Zywina, Director & Strategy Consultant at Lime Green Consulting, shares some tips on how you can do it too – and show that you don’t need to be a household name charity, with a big address book of contacts, to make it happen.

Creative Approaches to Prospect Research

Prospect research is a fundamental aspect of any organisation’s fundraising strategy. It helps you determine new funders and funding opportunities that are aligned with your mission and can help sustain and scale the work you do.

In this session, Wonu Owoade, Team Lead Fundraising at Help a Child International will provide you with tips and tricks based on my experience with how to conduct successful prospect research and donor profiling for your organisation.

In this session, we will cover:

• Tactics and tools which you can use to expand your research findings.
• How taking an intersectional approach to prospect research can open up new avenues/possibilities to secure funding.

Lessons From History: A Shared Look At Fundraising Successes From The Past

On this episode of the Fundraising Everywhere Podcast Live, host Simon Scriver chats with Marina Jones, Executive Director of Development at English National Opera, about why fundraisers love chasing shiny new ideas instead of learning from the past. Spoiler alert: fundraising wisdom from decades (even centuries) ago still works wonders today!

They’ll dive into some timeless tips rooted in behavioural science and explore how the fundraisers of the past mastered persuasion long before terms like "heuristics" and "nudges" existed. Plus, they'll tackle age-old challenges like emotional burnout, core costs, and showing impact – and how we can learn from history to solve them now.
