    The Year Before the Ask: Capital Campaign Prep with Mark Quigley

    In this episode, host Simon Scriver sits down with capital campaign expert Mark Quigley, a Sydney-based fundraising and philanthropy consultant with 30 years of experience. Mark shares the story behind his new book, One Year Before Your Capital Campaign: A 12-Month Guide to Pre-Campaign Success — the only book focused exclusively on the critical year before a feasibility study even begins. Mark unpacks the most common mistakes organisations make when approaching capital campaigns, from failing to plan to underestimating the time required. He introduces the concept of "Plan A" — finding the single opportunity that could transform your campaign and shares compelling real-world stories, including a $90 million prospect meeting 45 stories above Sydney Harbour and a $20 million campaign achieved in just three gifts. The conversation also covers practical tools like the "Rich Streets Exercise" for uncovering hidden major donor potential in your database, strategies for getting board and CEO buy-in, managing the tension between annual fundraising and campaign planning, and the realities of fundraiser burnout across organisations of all sizes. Whether you're planning your first capital campaign or your tenth, this episode is packed with actionable advice for the year that matters most — the one before it all begins.

    Event Fundraising in 2026: Leadership Buy-In, Data, and the Power of Community

    What if the biggest barrier to event fundraising success isn't budget, marketing, or even donor fatigue- but a lack of leadership buy-in within your own organisation? In this episode, Simon Scriver sits down with Pascale Harvie, President of JustGiving, to unpack their 2026 Event Fundraising Snapshot report and reveal what's really driving results in the sector. Despite cost-of-living pressures across the UK, event fundraising raised over £235 million on JustGiving alone in 2025—a 6% year-on-year increase. But the data reveals a surprising truth: 71% of charities that exceeded their event fundraising targets had one thing in common; leadership teams that made events a key priority. Pascale shares the standout case study of Endometriosis UK, a small team that doubled their event income to £250K by starting small, tracking demand, and proving results to leadership. Their secret? Focus, efficiency, and making fundraisers feel valued- not a massive budget or team. In this episode, you'll discover: - Why 71% of successful charities prioritise event fundraising at the leadership level - The gap between belief and resourcing: 78% say events are essential, but only 28% feel properly resourced - How running events (especially 10Ks and half marathons) are driving the fastest growth - The biggest challenges facing charities: cost-of-living pressures, rising event costs, and staff burnout - Why 1 million fundraising pages and 18 million donations prove the public's commitment hasn't disappeared - Pascale's advice on making the internal case for event fundraising investment - What's next for JustGiving, including exciting AI developments on the horizon Check out JustGiving 2026 Events Fundraising Snapshot Click here to subscribe to our email list for exclusive fundraising resources, early access to training, special discounts and more If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to hit follow and enable notifications so you'll get notified to be first to hear of future podcast episodes.

    Unlocking Payroll Giving: The Untapped Fundraising Opportunity

    It's Payroll Giving Month, and we're diving deep into one of fundraising's most overlooked opportunities. Host Simon Scriver welcomes back Mevi Slade from Cancer Research UK and Ollie Lashbrook from Macmillan Cancer Support—both linvolved with the CIOF Payroll Giving Special Interest Group, to explore why this tax-efficient giving method deserves more attention. In this episode, you'll discover: - What payroll giving is and how it works (spoiler: it's simpler than you think!) - Why 59% of people have never heard of this scheme—and why that's actually good news - How to overcome the "it's too laborious" objection from employers - The role of Professional Fundraising Organisations (PFOs) in donor recruitment - Why running payroll giving internally gives you the perfect case study for corporate partners - How to position payroll giving as an employee benefit, not just another admin task - Why this income stream works for charities of all sizes—not just the big players Whether you're in corporate partnerships, individual giving, or just curious about untapped fundraising opportunities, this episode reveals why payroll giving might be the most underutilised tool in your fundraising toolkit.
