MENTEES
Our mentees are all fundraisers with the talent, drive and ambition to be the next generation of fundraising leaders. They are learning and developing through their participation in our programme and all invest great energy and enthusiasm into their time with us to get the most from the opportunity.

Recognising the exciting pace of change in the sector and the innovations that are taking place, I hope to develop new approaches to achieving my goals. I’m excited for a mentor to ask me new questions and challenge me to consider different perspectives and ideas.
Amy Webb
I am deeply committed to addressing power within the charity sector. I want to make sure that charities’ decisions, resources and power sit, as much as possible, with the communities they’re there to serve. I envision this mentorship being a real catalyst for my growth and development as I work towards this.”
Annie Turnbull
I’m over the moon to be joining the Elischer Foundation mentoring programme and excited for the opportunity to learn and grow as a fundraising leader over the next 12 months. I hope to challenge myself to dream bigger, act bolder, and serve better.

“I applied to the mentoring programme to push myself and get out of my comfort zone. I want to develop my influencing and leadership skills while expanding my network with like minded people who want to change the world.
