Every fundraiser knows the art of raising money is through the stories we tell. But how long the story lasts is not always so easy to establish. One thing is for sure, whether that interaction lasts a moment, a decade or a lifetime rests on how we manage each relationship.

The Institute of Fundraising East Midlands is proudly staging their second conference for fundraisers of all experience levels and disciplines across the region.

Our conference will focus on how to develop, strengthen, and lengthen relationships so they provide better outcomes for fundraisers and lasting impacts for the organisations we represent.

We’ve been gathering some very talented and inspirational speakers from inside and outside fundraising to share their thoughts on what makes a ‘lasting relationship’. Sessions include:

• A bright future for fundraising, with Daniel Fluskey of the Institute of Fundraising
• When love breaks down, with John Grain
• Major Gifts Fundraising: Building relationships that last, with Amy Stevens of Gifted Philanthropy
• Relationship Fundraising - How to build your volunteer community, with Collette Brown of CLIC Sargent
• Liver Life Ambassadors: Developing a meaningful corporate engagement package as a small national charity, with Sophie Burt of the Children's Liver Foundation
• Lasting Charitable Relations: Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue..., with Anthony Lawton of Adoption Focus, the Joyce Carr Doughty Trust, and the Hanbury Charity
• What happens when support goes wrong?, with Gemma Rooke of Z-Arts
• Relations inside and out, with Lucy Connell of Christian Aid

This event is invaluable to anyone who works in a charity, social enterprise, community organisation and the third-sector. By attending you’ll:

• gain new knowledge to deliver your work
• stay on top of the ever-changing landscape in our sector
• have fun and share positive experiences
• be inspired by leading speakers
• meet and network with fellow fundraisers
• strengthen your community connections

So come and join us at one of the region’s premier venues, Derby County Football Club at Pride Park, Derby. There’s easy access by train, car or public transport.
