Have you ever read something over and over again and still been none the wiser what the writer was trying to say? As fundraisers we send out lots of messages every single day. We may think we are communicating clearly but do our supporters really understand what we are talking about?

This first part of our Curses of Fundraising series explores the The Curse of Knowledge and the steps you can take to ensure clever never gets in the way of clear.

Thanks for your interest in the Apollo Foundation…but I’m afraid this Foundation doesn’t actually exist!

This webpage forms part of Apollo Fundraising’s “Through A Funder’s Eyes” workshop, where we give fundraisers the chance to experience grant-fundraising from the funder’s perspective. The exercise is designed to help you see your own trust proposals, cultivation and research in a completely new light.

So, while the Apollo Fundraising can’t actually provide you with a grant for your work, perhaps it can help you to secure more grants from those funders that do exist.
