    How Two Fundraisers Transformed Their Organisations with the Digital Learning Grant

    In this episode of the Fundraising Everywhere Podcast, host Cam St.Omer Donaldson is joined by two graduates of the JustGiving Digital Learning Grant Programme — Kayleigh Wingate from Cambridge Cyrenians and Claire Caborn from Dove Cottage Day Hospice. Both fundraisers work in small charities where wearing multiple hats is the norm, and both came into the DLG program with different goals — Kayleigh to build her fundraising foundations after a background in copywriting and marketing, and Claire to take her charity's first steps into digital fundraising ahead of a landmark 30th anniversary Big Give Christmas Challenge. Together, they share: What they learned across six months of the program — from email marketing and social media strategy to storytelling and grants Why it's okay not to have all the answers (and why that realisation was liberating) How the program boosted their confidence and sparked new strategies for their organisations Why Fundraising Everywhere feels like an extended fundraising team — and a "fundraising encyclopaedia" Applications for the Digital Learning Grant Program 2027 (sponsored by JustGiving) are now open.

    Pizza for Losers: Vulnerability, Failure, and Finding Your Way Back

    In this episode of the Fundraising Everywhere Podcast, host Sarah Crowhurst — Founder of digital fundraising agency Hynt — sits down with three brilliant sector leaders ahead of her own talk at Pizza for Losers, the event that celebrates what happens when things go wrong. Sarah is preparing to speak about professional burnout and a knock to her confidence that left her questioning her future. To calm her nerves and sharpen her thinking, she chats with: Henry Rolling (Flying Cars Innovation Agency) — who shares how his first Christmas appeal at the Refugee Council went out without a return envelope, why failure is easier for some people than others, and what cracking an apple with your bare hands has to do with persistence. Lesley Pinder (Compass) — who spoke at the very first Pizza for Losers about burnout and missing the warning signs. She reflects on the "vulnerability hangover" of opening up on stage, and why having your team in the front row cheering you on can change everything. Harpreet Kondel — who opens up about being the only person of colour in the room for 32 years, the roles she was never offered, and why she refuses to let others define her worth. Together, they explore vulnerability, self-belief, bias, and why talking about failure might be one of the bravest and most important things we can do.

    What's The ROI Of Corporate Fundraising?

    What does return on investment actually look like in corporate fundraising — and what can the numbers tell us about strategy? In this episode, host Simon Scriver brings together Caroline Richardson (Lark Owl) and Andy King (Fireside Fundraising) to dig into Caroline's latest benchmarking research on corporate partnerships. What does return on investment actually look like in corporate fundraising — and what can the numbers tell us about strategy? They explore why more charities than ever are doing corporate fundraising, what the data reveals about success rates (including why 50% of respondents had a 100% success rate — and why that's not necessarily the full story), and how ROI for corporate partnerships is trending. Caroline and Andy also unpack the key strategic difference between a high-volume and a quality-over-quantity approach, why corporate fundraising has more in common with major gifts than trusts, and why it's very much a team sport. Caroline and Andy also discuss: - ROI - Percentage of charities actually doing corporate fundraising - Success rates - Differences between large and small charities - Differences between 2025 and 2026 Caroline's newsletter, The Nest Egg Fireside Fundraising research on why companies give 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.

    Feeling the Data: Measuring Emotion in Individual Giving

    What does it actually feel like to be a donor — and why does it matter more than you think? In this episode, host Simon Scriver is joined by Steven Dodds (Managing Director) and Paul Seabrook (CEO) of Beautiful Insights, a full-service market research agency specialising in the charity sector. Together they explore one of the most overlooked challenges in fundraising: how do you measure the emotional experience of your supporters, not just the financial data? The conversation covers: Why satisfaction alone doesn't predict donor loyalty or generosity The SAFE Index — Beautiful Insights' benchmarking tool for measuring non-financial supporter KPIs How donors often vividly remember why they first gave, but rarely recall anything about the ongoing supporter experience Why feeling "useful" might actually be a warning sign in your donor data How charities can compete with commercial brands that have mastered emotional advertising The difference between transactional stewardship and communications that genuinely move people This episode sets the scene for Steven and Paul's session at the upcoming Individual Giving Conference, where they'll dive deeper into the specific emotions that drive donor retention — and which ones should have your attention.

    Reflections on Fundraising Everywhere's Supporter Experience Conference

    In this episode, host Simon Scriver is joined by Natasha Evans (About Loyalty & Your Experience May Vary podcast) and David Amos-Reeves (Prostate Cancer UK & Experience Hub) to reflect on Fundraising Everywhere's recent Supporter Experience Conference. Together, they unpack some of the conference's key themes - including the "relevancy crisis" facing charities, why so many organisations struggle to turn their commitment to supporter experience into real organisational change, and what it truly means to reflect a supporter's motivations back to them. They also explore the differences between large and small charities when it comes to delivering great supporter experiences, share standout moments from the conference (including a powerful session on storytelling from Lisa at Fireside Fundraising), and look ahead to what's coming; from AI's role in closing the relevancy gap, to protecting the irreplaceable human element in fundraising.
