2025 Annual Online Papillon Fundraising Conference
The 2025 Annual Online Papillon Fundraising Conference was the best attended ever. With a line-up of 25 speakers, delegates once again had the opportunity to learn from some of the best and most experienced. And, by keeping the conference online, delegates’ costs remain very low while presenters could join from various countries.
Back by popular demand were NPO photography expert, Anna Lusty, global fundraising leader, Dr Carolyne A. Opinde and non-profit specialist lawyer, Ricardo Wyngaard. Another stalwart was fundraising specialist, Melanie Jackson – this time leading a panel on trends in corporate and trust funding. Nomagcwanini Gracia Nokwe led a panel with Dr James Moodie & Lizelle van der Merwe on opportunities to maximise volunteer support. And the esteemed Prof Eric Atmore shared vital tips on setting up and growing endowment funds.
Sponsoring partners, iZinga Assist, represented by Chair, Derek Lubner and CEO, Henk Swanepoel, updated everyone on the huge strides made in this game-changing initiative.
2025 saw the first session from world renowned Alan Clayton – the overwhelming feedback was to have him back!
As ever, the iconic Bernard Ross presented another superb masterclass – this time on making the case for support.
