Fundraisers network

This network, run by Stephen Tongue, Director of Fundraising at Henshaws College, is for fundraising staff who work in member colleges or the college’s parent organisation. 

Many Natspec member colleges do not have a dedicated fundraising post and ask other staff to take on the role of applying for grants or raising funds. Those that do have dedicated staff often only have a single position which has led to many of our members expressing feelings of isolation within their role. This network enables staff responsible for fundraising to meet each other, share ideas and discuss various grant giving trusts and foundations. It also provides an opportunity to hear from more experienced fundraising managers and share top tips.  

Network meetings take place online, approximately three times per year. Topics include discussions on resources necessary to successfully raise funds, information grants that are available, information management, making your case, and different models for fundraising. If you have any items you’d like to add to the agenda, please contact stephen.tongue@henshaws.org.uk 

If you have questions that you would like to ask other network members, please use the fundraisers discussion forum. 

Please check our Natspec networks page for details about all of our other networks.
