Competitive Vitae

Salary secrecy is a harmful and unfair practice, perpetuating pay gaps and having a disproportionately negative impact on women and people of colour. Here’s a playful way you can send a message to recruiters that “competitive” isn’t helpful to anybody.

Do Graduates Make Better Fundraisers?

A recent review of over 350 fundraising job descriptions in the UK found that more than one in three mention having a degree in the person specification. In nearly a quarter of jobs it was listed as an essential requirement. But why is a degree qualification so desirable when it comes to recruiting fundraisers? And what if this requirement was doing more harm than good?

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.
