Right now, fundraising is in serious trouble. 

Donor retention rates show that our sector is seriously underachieving. At charities large and small, organisations are losing new donors at an alarming, unprecedented and unsustainable pace. 

But we’re also losing too many of our bright, talented fundraisers. New recruits aren’t going on to create long-term careers in fundraising, they are leaving the sector – much like an increasing number of skilled veteran fundraisers. 

But SOFII co-founder Ken Burnett knows that good fundraisers like you can hold on to donors. And those donors are worth holding onto, because supporters who enjoy the experience of giving will stay with a charity longer. They’ll give more money and are more likely to leave a gift in their will.

As an experienced fundraiser who has seen many highs and lows during his years in the sector, Ken understands the challenges that fundraisers are facing. Yet he still believes that the golden age of fundraising is upon us. We still have access to the resources that will allow fundraisers to do what we do best... change the world. 

This is your chance to reinvent the future of fundraising.  

Ken’s seminar highlights how your job can be more rewarding, more satisfying, more successful and more fun – by delivering better donor experiences.

Originally presented to over 60 chief executives at leading Australian charities (as part of the ‘Ken Burnett Down Under Tour’), the seminar received rave reviews. It offers you over an hour of practical and tangible ideas to try. 

But perhaps most importantly, this masterclass unveils provocative new thinking about what it really means to be a fundraiser in 2025. Ken challenges you to think bigger, act boldly and embrace change.
