My name is Johanna van Herwaarden and I am a trainer and facilitator in Organisational Capacity Building and Fundraising Capacity Building. Through College of Change, I train and mentor international fundraising teams and support event management, fundraising and advice/consultancy. I specialise in Exit Strategy of grant recipients from International Development organisatiions.
With over 20 years of experience in fundraising, project management, and working with international organisations all over Europe but extensively in Eastern Europe, Holland, and the UK, I help build your organisational capacity for your non-profit organisation
I was lucky to be part of -and nurtured by- NGO's for more than 20 years ago. It all started in the early nineties when I joined the Dutch Aids Fonds as an activist and organised many Walk for Lifes and World Aids Days,
After 6 years, I moved on to a women’s rights organisation as their first professional fundraiser, became head of Fundraising and Communication for an international development agency, and set up the Major Donor programme for the Dutch Cancer Society. In my 12 years in the United Kingdom, I have taken up similar senior positions at International Development charities.
I have been involved with the Session leaders at the International Fundraising Congress in Holland for the last 14 years. I acquired a large network of international contacts and it has enabled me to learn and share experiences with fundraisers from all over the world. As a keen supporter of our international non-profit sector, I am part of the board of policy-making bodies in the Netherlands, UK, Czech Republic, and Slovakia.
If you want to keep doing what you're doing, then maybe a trainer is not for you.
Or if your organisation is fortunate and large enough to have its own in-house training, creative and production staff, you may only want to talk to our consultant to get some new ideas, have her to review your results.
But…

For different participants we have different fundraising training courses, to help your organisation succeed.

If you want to supercharge your non-profit’s fundraising, you need a strong and clear Case for Support.

It’s an emotionally-compelling document that casts a vision for your organization and tells donors why they should invest in your work. In this workshop we look at the core message of your NGO, and how to articulate the proposition of your organisation. What is your elevator speech when you meet new and potential donors?

Finding, connecting with- and Fundraising from wealthy individuals is one of the most amazing forms of Fundraising. Supporting these individuals, family, and / or couples to realise their philanthropic ambitions gives both the charity and the individuals in question an excellent opportunity to make the world a little better. Recruiting Great Gifts is largely based on gut-feeling, and in practice, expectations and results do not always match. Building such relationships is always tailor-made, but still, it comes down to a good plan, thorough research, clear communication between the organization and the wealthy individuals and, finally, to ask for a contribution for the right project at the right time, requested by the right person. In the Major Donor Support module I am keen to share my knowledge, insights and experience with you. This can be done in different ways, depending on need/wishes and the phase of MD Fundraising the organization is in.
