Charities could unlock untapped resources if they were more strategic about non-cash giving, says Caroline Beaumont.
Staring out at the Cornish coast, Amanda McLean decided she was the right person to lead the Institute of Fundraising. Celina Ribeiro catches up with her before she gets her feet under the desk to find out a bit more about the new chief executive.
The Institute of Fundraising’s new five-year learning strategy aims to make career-long learning synonymous with Institute membership, and to elevate fundraising to an aspirational profession.
Suppose a journalist, or maybe a civil servant from the Office of the Third Sector asked you, as a fundraiser, whether the umbrella bodies which stood up for, lobbied on behalf of, and represented the voluntary sector to the 'outside world', were doing a good job, what would be your response?
In this month's Professional Fundraising magazine, Intelligent Giving criticised the Institute of Fundraising for a lack of transparency. Here, the Institute fights back.
The Institute is 25. While it may have matured, there's still more growing up to be done, says Becky Slack.
"We desperately need more investment in fundraising if we are to grow our income as much as we need to. However, our trustee board has traditionally been quite unreceptive to the needs of the fundraising department. How do I persuade them that more investment would be beneficial to the organisation?"
"We are a smallish charity (14 staff, with an income of £1.8m) and we want to recruit a new fundraiser. My chief executive thinks we should employ another corporate fundraiser but I'm concerned this is a shrinking sector. How do I work out which specialisation our new recruit should be experienced in?"
