Beyond the transaction: Building trust between funders and fundraisers

What does genuine partnership between funders and fundraisers really look like and how do we move beyond transactional relationships to build trust, alignment and shared purpose?

This panel brings together experienced funders and fundraisers for an open conversation on expectations, power dynamics and collaboration. Drawing on real‑world experience, panellists will explore what builds trust over time, what gets in the way and how stronger relationships can deliver better outcomes for the communities we serve.
