1. You can directly fund people’s training – no admin, no salaries, no staplers.

2. The fund is run by fundraisers, for fundraisers. We are you, and you are us.

3. Supporting fundraising in the global South is an incredibly effective way to change the world for the better.

4. Inequality. Many ‘poor’ countries have enclaves of wealthy and middle-class people. Effective fundraising in these countries will make sure these people do their bit to solve local problems.

5. You like hanging out with fundraisers. And the Fundraisers Fund website means you can meet some of the most inspiring fundraisers in the world – wherever they are.

6. Inspiration. You won’t believe the innovative ways people have come up with to raise funds.

7. You can share your knowledge directly with aspiring fundraisers – a tiny investment of time that could have a huge payback.

8. You earn a living through fundraising. By giving something back, you can help other people to do the same.

9. If you believe in fundraising’s power to change the world, this is your chance to put your money where your mouth is.

10. We can’t ask anyone else.
