About us

The Fundraisers was set up by Julie Eason in 2014. Hannah Travers joined in 2020 as a Director. Both Julie and Hannah are award winning fundraisers with decades of experience, and with strong track records in growing the charities we work with.

We are proud of our track record, and high success rates

In the past 12 months we have achieved the following success rates:

100% Garfield Weston Foundation, Heritage Lottery Fund & National Lottery Community Fund (Awards for All).

75% success rate Reaching Communities.

We have an average 63% success rate across all funders.

The team regularly secures major gifts from the Garfield Weston Foundation, Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, John Ellerman Foundation, Paul Hamlyn Foundation, Sainsbury Family Charitable Trusts, local and national governments and international Trusts & Foundations.

In light of the complaints of sexual harassment and assault raised at the Chartered Institute of Fundraising, and subsequent lack of action, we have chosen to resign our membership.

We stand in solidarity with the women who experienced this terrible behaviour, and who have tried to engage in an open and frank conversation to ensure complaints of sexual misconduct are never again ignored or covered up. We hope that fundraisers will stand together with us to expedite the change needed and we remain optimistic that fundraisers will in the future have a membership body we can all be proud to be part of.
