Ask Us Anything
Free weekly sessions where charities can bring any question about their tech, their team or their next step.
- Free
- 45 minutes
- On Google Meet
- 3 times a week
Free advice from people who’ve been where you are
Blaze Your Trail was founded by a charity founder. Jessica Macpherson OAM built charities from the ground up and learnt that the right technology changes everything. It helped her raise more money, manage volunteers, deliver services and prove her impact, while building organisations strong enough to thrive without her.
When she stepped away, she wanted to share what she’d learnt. That’s how Blaze Your Trail began. Today our whole team, including fellow charity founder Kirsten Finger, shares that experience through Ask Us Anything: free group sessions where you can bring any question about running your charity or the technology behind it.

Who it’s for
Anyone working in or with a charity, social enterprise or for-purpose organisation, whether you’re a Blaze Your Trail customer or not.
Bring us your questions
No question is too big or too small. You might ask:
- Which technology is actually worth the investment?
- How do we scale without burning out?
- When is it time to let go?
- How do I get more out of Salesforce, Raisely or Mailchimp?
What to expect
Sessions are relaxed and informal. Join, ask your question and get practical advice from our team. You might pick up ideas from other attendees too.
Other organisations join each session, so please don’t share donor details or personal information about the people you support, especially when sharing your screen.
