Insights and success factors from around the world.
The global funding landscape has shifted dramatically in recent years – individual giving is increasingly challenging, the digital engagement is evolving faster than many organisations can adapt, and public trust is eroding. For nonprofits, this is a critical moment: sustainability will depend on a radical rethink of how fundraising is implemented across audiences, channels, teams, and markets.
This session shares a global perspective on fundraising opportunity that is grounded in real-time, up-to-date organisational learning, bringing together three powerful sources of insight:
- Updated findings from the 2025 International Fundraising Leadership Forum, exploring how income performance is evolving across markets and fundraising streams
- Fresh perspectives gathered from global outreach to senior fundraising leaders, capturing what high-performing organisations see as the essential conditions for fundraising success on a global scale today
- An exploration of the success criteria behind the progress of organisations achieving fundraising growth in emerging markets, as well as the organisational tensions that must be addressed to make growth possible
This is a critical moment for organisations to learn from what is working, shore up their foundations, and build models that are sustainable for the future. You will leave with both global insight and practical inspiration on how to strengthen your fundraising for the years ahead.
