Old donor data is a risk your Board can measure and reduce
Equitable Philanthropy and EP Law have released a free Donor Data Retention Policy template for Australian charities. Blaze Your Trail’s Retention Clock helps Boards...
A quick heads-up for anyone on your board, in your network, or leading a small not-for-profit that's ready to sharpen its funding conversations.
One of the biggest gaps we see in the small-to-medium charity sector isn't a lack of good work being done — it's a lack of confidence (and structure) when it comes to pitching that work to funders. A clear, evidence-based pitch can be the difference between a "maybe next round" and a signed agreement.
That's exactly what this course, run by fundraising expert Catherine Brooks of Equitable Philanthropy through the Institute of Community Directors Australia, is built to fix.
What it covers
Across three live workshops and a private coaching session, you'll learn to:
✅ Understand funder priorities and how they like to be communicated with
✅ Craft a pitch that's both emotionally compelling and backed by evidence
✅ Structure and deliver your pitch with genuine confidence
✅ Build a roadmap towards longer-term financial sustainability
The details
- Format - Three live online workshops via Zoom
- Dates - 7, 14 & 21 October, Noon–2pm AEDT
- Bonus - One-on-one pitch review with Catherine in November
- Investment - $995 — and spots are genuinely limited
It's designed specifically for not-for-profit CEOs, Chairs and Board Directors who want practical tools rather than theory — and it's consistently well reviewed by past participants.
