    Ep 1: Buying Boats & The Changing Face of Fundraising in 2011

    It was over ten years ago that Kelvin, TPF’s Founder and CEO, embarked on a mission to establish a more deliberate and enduring methodology for the fundraising sector. Moving away from traditional door-to-door acquisitions and fleeting contributions from transient donors, he reimagined a strategy centered on cultivating meaningful donor connections and delivering superior results for our partners. Following several pivotal and occasionally surprising experiences during his tenure as a General Manager in the industry, Kelvin recognised the necessity for a shift. This realisation served as the primary driver behind the birth of a new venture. Tune in to the podcast to discover Kelvin’s journey from the ground up, exploring everything from the unique story of purchasing a boat to the milestone of landing our debut client.
