Episode 89
Episode 89 of Tales From the Trenches Tuesdays again features Simon Scriver, the co-founder of Fundraising Everywhere (fundraisingeverywhere.com), a recovering fundraiser, coach/mentor, trainer, keynote speaker, podcast delighter and lovable imp. Simon is a TEDx speaker and has previously won the Toastmasters UK & Ireland International Speech Contest.
Simon is working towards his degree in Theology, so we discuss how religion fits into fundraising. We also chat about philanthropy while growing up, as well some advice that he would’ve given to his younger self.
The toughest thing about fundraising is… being aware of what the environment is that you are going into is. If you’re the first fundraiser in an organization, or a solo fundraiser, that can be a really brutal job because you’re surrounded by people who don’t understand fundraising, but very possible don’t like fundraising.
