Does your organisation undertake fundraising activities?  Have some activities been more successful than others and no doubt you probably have some horror stories where an event or activity has not gone as well as planned.  Connecting Up, which is an organisation that supports not for profit organisations, will be running a series of Fundraising Forums across the country during November.

These Fundraising Forums will bring together a range of not for profit organisations and people who will discuss their experiences in relation to fundraising.  In particular, they will discuss what worked well, some of the failures as well as their successes.

The main benefit of these forums is to learn about some of the challenges they encountered as well as tips and ideas that should help your organisation as you undertake future fundraising activities.

In particular, the Keynote Speaker at each forum is Peter Fletcher who in known as The Fundraisng Coach and has been a member, State President and Fellow of the Fundraising Institute of Australia. With over 25 years of fundraising both within Australia and overseas you are sure to learn some valuable insights from his extensive experience.

These events take place on the following dates in the states listed below:

• Sydney – 19 November
• Adelaide – 21 November
• Melbourne – 26 November
• Brisbane – 28 November
