Building inclusivity into fundraising is not a choice. Diversity. Equity. Inclusivity. Committees are struck up. Training and workshops are held. More committees are organised. Conferences are set up. More training and workshops are held. In this session, our panel will discuss the approaches and interpretations of building community, diversity, and inclusivity in driving change and transformation through fundraising and philanthropy.

The session will share thinking on how to bridge traditional approaches to fundraising, donor-centric models, and new community-centred approaches in your organisation’s fundraising efforts. Questions will be asked: who are we here to serve and who do we exist for? Are we interested in transformation? Or are we interested in upholding the status quo? We have to question existing structures.

This is a session to be inspired by and walk away from with different perspectives on how to begin thinking about integrating justice, inclusivity, community, and equity in your fundraising.
