This workshop is designed to help you learn effective techniques to identify and expand your donor base, thereby boosting fundraising success.

This workshop is designed to equip participants with practical knowledge and proven strategies to effectively identify, research, and grow their donor base in order to strengthen fundraising outcomes. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how donor acquisition fits within the broader fundraising cycle, and how intentional prospecting can lead to more sustainable giving relationships. Through real-world examples, tools, and guided exercises, the workshop will build confidence in assessing donor potential, prioritising prospects and aligning fundraising approaches with organisational goals. By the end of the session, learners will be better prepared to create a strong donor pipeline and make more strategic, well-informed fundraising asks that drive long-term success.
