Public Fundraising Symposium 2025

In an era of evolving donor expectations, regulatory shifts, and growing public accountability, the fundraising sector must prioritise sustainability, ethical integrity, and innovation to remain resilient. 

This symposium will bring together sector leaders, legal experts, and fundraising professionals to explore how public fundraising can adapt to these changes while strengthening trust and maintaining compliance. 

Through expert-led discussions, case studies, and practical workshops, attendees will gain insights into ethical best practices, regulatory updates, and innovative approaches to supporter engagement.
