Sponsorship and Exhibition Opportunites

Scottish Conference enjoys the biggest gathering of fundraisers in Scotland and is an ideal route to market for those with products or services that would benefit fundraising organisations. A large proportion of delegates are decision-makers for their organisations and a high profile at Scottish Conference can be of great benefit in making new contacts and showcasing what you can offer.

The Scottish Conference 2011 could not offer our delegate rates and quality of event without the generous support of our sponsors.

Bruce Tait Associates

www.brucetaitassociates.com
As Scotland’s only specialist Fundraising Recruitment Agency, we are delighted to be a sponsor of the Scottish Fundraising Conference. We see this as oneway to give back to the Scottish Fundraising Community. In addition, we run the Charity Career Start Programme, which gives people a chance to get started in fundraising, and each year we produce and publish the Scottish Fundraising Salary Survey.

We support and develop these activities, because as Recruiters and Fundraisers ourselves, we know that people are our strongest resource. Especially in the current climate, we believe that it is vital to recruit the best fundraiser that you can for your organisation. That’s why Scottish charities have used us to recruit over 100 Fundraisers in the last three years.

If you would like to find out more about our unique, no-risk Fundraiser recruitment service, contact me on 07743 801397, by email at bruce@brucetaitassociates.com or visit our stand at the Conference.

Public Fundraising Regulatory Association

www.pfra.org.uk
Street and doorstep face-to-face fundraising has been one of the greatest fundraising success stories of the past 15 years, securing more than 600,000 new donors each year for charity who contribute £120 million annually to their chosen charities.
The Public Fundraising Regulatory Association is the self-regulatory membership organisation for charities that conduct face-to-face fundraising. We help our members establish fundraising agreements with councils that balance the rights of charities to solicit support for their causes with the rights of the public to go about their business without being put under undue pressure to give.
We also make sure that fundraisers stick by these agreements and that they abide by the requirements of the Institute of Fundraising’s code of practice.
Anyone running or considering running any form of face-to-face fundraising can find out more about the service offered by the PFRA on our stand or by visiting the PFRA website. We can offer advice on professional standards, legislation and licensing and media relations.
Before you talk to the public, make sure you talk to the PFRA.

R Fundraising is the new name for Relationship Marketing. We have an exciting new look to share with you, however it is still all about donors; recruiting them, retaining them, and building rapport.

If you want to engage with more prospects, keep more donors and have a great ongoing conversation with them. The telephone can do all three. That’s what we do. Let’s talk!
