‘Even though everyone understands the need for funds,
fundraising is perhaps not as valued as other parts of the
organisation’
6. Contexts and relationships – the socio-political, cultural and
economic environment as well as stakeholders, partners and
competitors within the sector;
‘You need to focus on who you’re targeting There is a lot of
diversity in the market. The donor isn’t going to be interested
in ALL arts’
7. Donors – the knowledge and understanding of existing and
potential donors;
8. Approaches – the extent and nature of approaching and
interacting with donors;
9. Success – the understanding, assessment and use of
‘effectiveness’ within donor cultivation and fundraising more
widely
‘I have no background in this—there is no precedent—have
tried to be modest in how much we can raise in a year…but it
is difficult to calculate’.
