Charity Finance Directors - Fundraising Perspectives - Listening

A favour to ask - can you introduce me to your Finance Director for a 20min chat (I'm not selling anything)... I want to hear about how they view, think and discuss fundraising within their professional circles. I'm using August to conduct a big listening exercise, and could use your help broadening the people I talk to. I've already had six conversations, have three more planned, but I'd like to broaden the knowledge pool. I have five questions to frame the discussion, but I'm there (as someone with over twenty years in charity fundraising) to hear what charity finance leaders have to say about fundraising, because I don't think we've done enough of it (and I certainly haven't over the years). Please give me a hand by CC'ing me into an email to them - here's some suggested wording to use: Hi (colleague), Can I introduce you to Damian Chapman, someone I know in fundraising, who is doing a big listening exercise with finance leaders and I hoped you'd be able to find 20 minutes for a chat with him over the next few weeks. He's not selling anything, but pulling research together to feed into an industry piece in 2027. His email address is [email redacted]. Thank you :) #charityfinance #charityleadership
