Sorry to interrupt…

We are a charity website still in development and you could really help by telling us what you think of the site. Once you have had a chance to see the site, would you take part in a very short, confidential survey? You just have to click Launch Survey (it will open in a new window). Thank you very much.

Launch the survey No thanks

I am a volunteer and work with our fundraiser, mainly doing fundraising research.  Our fundraiser is in a meeting next month, while we are having our volunteers coffee morning which leaves me to do a brief talk about fundraising, how we do it and why.  I thought I'd open by introducing basic fundraising information, i.e. defining a project, costing etc. then moving quickly on to (and over) researching Trusts and grant giving foundations. 

Then I want to find a way to involve all the volunteers in fundraising, from asking them for ideas for fundraising events to keeping a weather eye to the press to see if local companies are donating money for particular types of projects.  Anyone got any ideas of how I can pitch this without terrifying the group?  I'd be grateful for any suggestions.  The meeting is at the beginning of September so it is very short notice too!!
