"Fundraising is proclaiming
what we believe in such a way
that we offer other people an
opportunity to participate with
us in our vision and mission."

Who We Are

We are an informal collaboration of  people who care passionately about fundraising and fundraisers, who have created a space for people to network, learn and be empowered to raise more. The main founding members of South West Fundraising Forum are Elanor Hoskin and Paul Courtney with many other supporting along the way.

 

Our ethos is to listen to fundraisers voices and we will do what we can to provide that space for both free networking events and paid training and conferences (both online and in person). Where we are charging for people to attend events we will always pay speakers for thier time. We are committed to working with a board range of individuals from varying backgrounds so please do get in contact with us, or signpost us to people that you have heard speak as we would love to hear from you.
