Fishnet Fundraising

Fishnet Fundraising Fishnet Fundraising is a direct-response communications agency specialising in the not-for-profit sector. But her real love is story-telling.

It was such a pleasure to speak with the Queensland Greens about fundraising yesterday. As an NGO consultant and as a former federal candidate, I've doubly seen how fundraising sits at the heart of change.

With twelve in the room and another twelve on zoom, we had diverse experiences and terrific conversation about this sometimes awkward subject.

I was surprised to find that having two decades of fundraising experience in the NGO sector wasn't as transferrable as I thought to candidature. And it's taught me that fundraising is not about money - but about shared values.

Keeping that front of mind helps put the fun back into fundraising. 😆

Thanks so much for inviting me, Kitty Carra and Sally Dillon - The Greens!
