What delegates said last year:

“More takeaways this morning than I normally get from a whole conference.”

“Jam packed and inspiring.”

“One of the most practical sessions I’ve ever attended.”

“The most practical conference I attend – pages of notes to take back to my team.”

“Engaging, insightful and full of fresh ideas I’m excited to use.”

“I made more meaningful connections here than any other event this year.”

“Incredibly valuable… more than most conferences.”

Fundraising is getting harder.

Expectations are rising.

Budgets aren’t.

Donor expectations are shifting. Channels are evolving. Budgets are tighter. And “best practice” isn’t enough anymore.

The Fundraising Forum is built for fundraisers who want more than theory – it’s for people who want to know:

What’s working right now
What’s not
What to do next

VIEW PROGRAM

This isn’t just another conference.

Proven, not theoretical

Walk away with ideas you can genuinely use – not just inspiration.

Honest, real-world insights

Hear what worked, what didn’t and what teams would do differently.

For fundraisers like you

From small teams to large organisations – content you can translate into your world.

A community that ‘gets it’

Be in a room full of people facing the same challenges as you.

Secure your spot

The conversations matter

just as much as the sessions

Some of the most valuable moments happen between sessions – sharing challenges, ideas and solutions with people who understand your world.

What you’ll learn

Strategy • Acquisition • Retention • Campaigns • Copy • And more...

Not just presentations – interactive sessions, live discussions and honest conversations about what’s really happening in fundraising, including:

What the data is really telling us about the state of giving right now
How leading organisations are building donor value propositions that really work
Why your copy isn’t performing – and how to fix it
Real case studies: campaigns that drove growth (and what those fundraisers would do differently today)
How to re-engage declining donors and build long-term value
The strategies behind acquisition, retention and donor growth

Built from real campaigns, real data and real results – not theory.
