Peer Support for Developing and Accelerating Affiliate Fundraising
08-10, 10:00–10:55 (Poland), Tbilisi (7)
Language: English

This session will look at developing peer support to accelerate fundraising across our movement. We will start off with hearing from affiliates who successfully fundraise on what works and what does not for them. We then open up space for a discussion on where fundraising interested parties are in their fundraising journey and what support they would need to advance further.
