Small charities, donor joy and fundraising readiness - with Emma-Louise Singh and Emma Low, Nova Fundraising
Q: What does fundraising readiness look like in practice for a very small charity?
Emma Low explains the Nova Octagon framework, outlining eight elements (culture, integration, intentionality, accountability, learning, storytelling, donor love) and stresses treating fundraising as an organization-wide effort, not just a single role.
Small charities, donor joy and fundraising readiness - with Emma-Louise Singh and Emma Low, Nova Fundraising
Q: From your read on the current landscape, how are small charities faring in today's fundraising environment?
Emma-Louise notes that the environment remains tough with more competition for grants, cost-of-living pressures, and a crowded funding climate, but also identifies opportunities in legacy fundraising and local, direct impact that resonates with donors.
Fundraiser safety and the donor code of conduct - with Antonia Brownlee
Q: What happens if someone does overstep the mark?
The approach is to lead with curiosity, have a conversation rather than accusations, and involve leadership to ensure safety and respect, with a preference for addressing issues promptly to prevent escalation.
Fundraiser safety and the donor code of conduct - with Antonia Brownlee
Q: What were the outcomes of implementing the guiding principles?
Since rollout, patrons have not objected to the principles, the document is visible on renewal and Endowment Fund pages, and it aligns with the organisation's values, helping staff feel supported and empowered.
Fundraiser safety and the donor code of conduct - with Antonia Brownlee
Q: Before Scottish Ballet developed its donor guiding principles, what was happening internally that made this work necessary?
There had been ongoing issues with inappropriate donor behavior and a recognition that a formal, values-led framework was needed to protect staff and dancers, plus training and guidance to ensure safer, healthier donor relations.
