Fundraisers are the oil in each not-for-profit organisation: without them the organisation can not function very well.
Where do they get the inspiration from to stay on top of their game, and the tips and tricks to be the best they can be,
to serve their organisation so its staff can do what they do best?
The Fundraisers Forum, Sowing the Seeds of Love, is a one-day forum designed to inspire, encourage and promote best practice in fundraising in New Zealand. We have
invited passionate experts from New Zealand and the U.S.A. who are eager to share their knowledge with you.
Who should attend
This forum is aimed at fundraisers for small to medium sized organisations with a <$2m turnover and all charities operational in New Zealand. Anyone who is involved in fundraising or wants to get
involved in fundraising. Keen fundraisers from sport clubs, to social services, to health care providers to arts, to
animal welfare organisations to children's play groups, anyone.

Cath Vincent spent over 20 years as a business consultant in change management before she emigrated to New Zealand and
launched a brand new career as a motivational speaker. In a rapid time, she won the National Speakers Association

Pat Shepherd is a photographer, graphic designer and founder of NZ-based charity One Percent Collective. He loves making

border with refugee and migrant children and more recently through One Percent Collective and the Generosity Journal
they produce. Pat will bring fresh thinking to the Forum.
With a passion for helping people, Katherine Richards knew she wanted to work in the non-profit sector but had no idea
where. Straight out of university she fell into a career in fundraising, and in a few short years has quickly moved up
into managing the donor development programme at Save the Children New Zealand. Her focus is on all things retention,
direct marketing appeals and telemarketing campaigns, with the ultimate aim to engage donors with the important work
Save the Children does for vulnerable children around the world and inspire them to give more.
