Austrian association to deliver first corporate fundraising conference

Fundraising Verband Austria will host its first Corporate Fundraising Conference in Vienna next month (09 October 2019), exploring how to establish and nurture relationships with business partners.

Taking place on 9th October, the event aims to help fundraisers learn how to set up a profitable partnership and raise corporate fundraising to the next level.

Headline speakers include Thomas Schiffelmann (PLAN International), presenting on what criteria is important when selecting business partners, Hugo Pettendrup (HP fundconsult), covering corporate support beyond donations and sponsorship and Anton Kolarik (UniCredit Bank Austria AG), who will explain the new Social Impact Banking Programme.

The Corporate Fundraising Conference coincides with the Association’s 26th Austrian Fundraising Congress (07-09 October), also in Vienna. This year’s theme for the event is donor relationships, working to the motto ‘People give to People.’
