When it comes to fundraising, not every cause garners the same level of support. Certain issues often miss out on essential funding due to their perceived unpopularity, controversy, or simply being deemed ‘unsexy’ by potential donors. For instance, while saving a panda may attract immediate attention, the cause of supporting ex-offenders typically struggles to generate the same enthusiasm.

This disparity raises several questions: Why do some causes resonate more deeply with the public? What strategies can organisations employ to shift perceptions and engage donors in less popular areas? In our latest post, we delve into these critical questions and offer actionable insights to help you overturn the stigma surrounding your cause and attract the support it rightfully deserves.

Public speaking is a vital skill that transcends professional boundaries, empowering individuals to communicate their ideas with clarity and confidence. Whether it is presenting a project to colleagues, addressing a large audience, or advocating for a cause, effective public speaking can inspire action and foster meaningful connections. Mastering this art involves understanding your audience, crafting compelling narratives, and employing techniques to engage and persuade. With practice, anyone can develop their public speaking abilities, transforming anxiety into prowess and opening doors to new opportunities in both personal and professional spheres.
