Find a workable first step for rescue fundraising

Cindy Williams

The ambition is to help organise a small fundraiser with clear accounts. I need to plan around this: I am rebuilding confidence after a long break.

I am interested in rescue fundraising too. Are you looking for advice, company, or somebody to organise it? Those are different asks.

Mostly company, with practical questions answered together. I should not quietly hand the organising to whoever replies first. My plan has to fit this: I am rebuilding confidence after a long break.

Thanks for separating those. I am happy to discuss an idea without becoming its coordinator. I would like to try something similar where I am. Would you mind comparing what needs adapting?

I can work with that distinction. With rescue fundraising, I am just starting. That would be useful. We should compare the conditions instead of assuming the same arrangement works in both places.

I would also like to learn about responsible adoption before making a decision. I have tried making a little space for rescue fundraising; the difficult part was keeping the session small enough to repeat.

That gives us two related aims to compare. I would like to help organise a small fundraiser with clear accounts. One thing I should say upfront: I am rebuilding confidence after a long break.

On “Find a workable first step for rescue fundraising”, would a Facebook conversation help find local company, or would you rather agree the details here?

For this wish, Kader Manço: I would use a wider conversation to find interest, then keep one clear place for the actual arrangements. I do not want people comparing several conflicting versions.

I think the company is the part I would keep, even if the rest changed. For my own plan, I usually have more time in the morning. That is how I see “Find a workable first step for rescue fundraising”.

Kader Manço, that helps me separate the purpose from the details. I can alter the activity without losing the reason for wanting to meet. The help I would value is a verified local volunteer contact.
