Fundraising Unveiled: A Candid Conversation with Executive Directors [Video]

Fundraising for small and mid-sized nonprofits in the farmed animal protection space is riddled with unique challenges: the funds available are limited compared to other charity sectors, small budgets often mean the executive director has to do all the fundraising, and balancing existing donor engagement with diversifying the funding pool comes with a host of challenges.

In this panel discussion, executive directors including Ana Bradley (Sentient), Monica Chen (New Roots Institute), and Brooke Haggerty (Faunalytics) talk candidly about their experiences with fundraising, how they raised their first $1 million, the different challenges organizations with various budgets face, the mistakes they have made, how to work with the ‘competition’ and thoughts on diversifying funding without succumbing to mission drift.
