The Fundraising Radicals

Craig Pollard

The Fundraising Radicals podcast is hosted by Craig Pollard. Our aim is to turn the world of fundraising downside-up, to bring global voices and perspectives with new ideas and inspiration for fundraising leaders everywhere. These are unscripted conversations with friends and colleagues, old and new, ordinary and inspiring people who have deep passion, experience and expertise - they are fundraising and leading nonprofits, community projects, movements - in Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. This is about creating space for new and too often ignored voices, perspectives, and ideas. Together we’re going to explore and push the boundaries of what fundraising is, where it can be done, who can do it, and how - so I’ll also be talking to people beyond the traditional limits of the nonprofit and fundraising world - people who are running social enterprises, entrepreneurs, people working in the private sector. I deeply believe that fundraising knowledge and tools are for everyone, everywhere - and the Fundraising Radicals exists to engage, empower and equip people like you to fundraise effectively and efficiently, for your community, cause, charity or to make some change. This podcast is also about challenging the barriers and myths of fundraising that get in the way of people like you, raising the donations you need to fund your community, your cause, your charity, your change - whether you live in Manchester or Manila, whether you’re a seasoned professional or have never done this before.
