“I am driven to help charities find a way to fund whatever they need, for example to urgently acquire a new state of the art MRI scanner or fund parent fold down beds so that they can stay close to their children in hospital and get the rest and comfort they need at critical times in their lives. The tangible and at times lifesaving benefits that funding brings to people and animals around New Zealand is immensely fulfilling.”
After a stellar and award-winning corporate career in the branded fast moving consumer goods sector, Louise transferred her marketing skills into the not-for-profit sector. She has managed fundraising teams with modest to large expenditure budgets and eye-popping fundraising targets in the UK and more recently in New Zealand. Louise has in-depth knowledge and practical experience in a variety of fundraising streams including corporate, individual giving, trusts, foundations and bequests.
“I really appreciate AskRIGHT for their professional, insightful review of our donor programme. It is great to work with Louise and her colleague Fi. They have proven their fundraising, research and analysis capability in spades, and they have added substantial value to NZRDA”.
Donna Kennedy, Chief Executive, NZ Riding for the Disabled.
