About

Field Notes for Good is a space dedicated to exploring how research, evidence, and shared learning can strengthen the work of fundraisers and the wider social impact sector. Born from the belief that good ideas become even better when we pass them on, this blog blends practical insights with thoughtful reflection—offering fundraisers a place to sharpen their craft, challenge assumptions, and stay connected to what works.

In fundraising, knowledge is not just information—it’s a resource that can be transformed into generosity, resilience, and impact. Here, we break down emerging research, highlight innovative practices, and capture lessons learned from the field, all with one aim: to make it easier for those doing good to do even better.

This space isn’t about perfection. It’s about curiosity.
It’s about learning in the open, sharing what we find, and building a culture where knowledge flows freely—between teams, across organisations, and throughout the sector.

Whether you’re a seasoned fundraiser, a charity leader, or simply someone who believes in the power of good ideas, you’re welcome here.

Let’s explore. Let’s question.
And let’s share what we learn—because knowledge grows when we give it away.
