About our Training and Events
Sometimes the best things in life are free. Put an afternoon aside with us to find out the latest in fundraising learnings from our expert consultants and the impact it can have in enhancing your fundraising programme.
At Pareto Fundraising and Pareto Phone, we just love to share our fundraising expertise with as many charities as possible, regardless of whether or not they engage our services. That way we know that the world will become a better place faster.
That’s why, alongside our comprehensive services, we offer a number of free or low-cost training and ideas-sharing opportunities that are open to all charity and fundraising professionals who are serious about providing more help for their beneficiaries.
From our challenging and intensive workshops to our lively Hot Potato Club debates, there is something for everyone. So why not check out our events calendar or click on the map to find out what’s coming up in your region.
What sort of training and events do we run?
CEO Breakfasts: Aimed primarily at CEOs, board members, directors and senior fundraising staff, these breakfasts are exclusive and intimate, allowing fundraising leaders access to leading Australian and international fundraising consultants speaking on an array of important topics.
Workshops: Our workshops offer a chance for fundraising professionals to benefit from our expertise for free or at a very low cost. Intensive individualised sessions are held on the most important aspects of fundraising, from identifying and targeting high value supporters, to developing an effective bequest programme.
Debates: Very topical and lots of fun, Pareto Fundraising runs quarterly debates with fundraising experts who enjoy getting into spirited arguments about key industry issues.
Discussion Forum: These forums are exclusive to Pareto Fundraising, where a panel of fundraising experts will get together to discuss topics that are relevant to the fundraising industry.
Conferences: Pareto Fundraising have had an array of speakers at conferences on the international fundraising circuit. We have had a presence at the AFP conferences in North America, IFC in Europe, IWRM in Asia and the FIA Conference, the Australasian Fundraising Forum and FINZ in Australia and New Zealand.
