Fundraising Insight

Fundraising Insight is my regular Substack blog that's replaced the longstanding queerideas.co.uk. You'll find regular articles on fundraising, human generosity, and the surprising side of nonprofit life. Here, I dig deeper into what drives donor behaviour, the moments that move people to act, and the practices that help or hinder meaningful connection. It's part analysis, part storytelling, and always rooted in real-world experience from four decades in the fundraising trenches. If you're looking for honest insight, critical thinking, and the occasional uncomfortable truth about what works (and what doesn’t) in fundraising, you’re in the right place.
