Our Purpose
The Fundraising Nest exists to inspire, empower, and support fundraisers to create meaningful change in the world. At its heart, The Nest is about fostering a thriving community where fundraisers feel equipped, valued, and confident in their ability to lead with purpose and integrity.
Our mission is rooted in the belief that fundraising is not just about raising moneyā€”itā€™s about transforming lives, building strong connections, and igniting generosity that resonates far beyond the initial act of giving. The Fundraising Nest provides fundraisers with the tools, knowledge, and community they need to navigate the challenges of the profession, while celebrating the profound impact they make.
Our 6 R Promise
We are passionate about creating a sector where fundraisers are respected as change-makers and where the act of giving is seen as an essential element of a better, more compassionate society. Through training, mentoring, and collaboration, we aim to elevate fundraising as a profession and inspire a cultural shift towards donor-centered, purpose-driven practices.
The Nest is more than a resource hubā€”itā€™s a safe space for fundraisers to grow, share ideas, and find inspiration. Our goal is to ensure that fundraisers feel supported every step of the way, enabling them to thrive in their roles and create lasting impact for their causes and communities.

- Building Community: We provide a network of peers, mentors, and resources where fundraisers can connect, collaborate, and grow.

- Encouraging Innovation: We share cutting-edge ideas and best practices to keep fundraisers ahead of trends.
- Offering Mentorship: We pair fundraisers with experienced mentors to help them navigate their professional journeys.
- Advocating for Wellbeing: We promote work-life balance, resilience, and professional satisfaction to keep fundraisers happy, healthy, and effective.
