We are Juliet Ellis and Sarah Goddard, co-founders and Directors of Fundraising Across the Board.
Juliet and Sarah have a combined 50+ years of experience across the sector as fundraising leaders and experts, with over half of that time working as consultants and trainers.
They have both worked in senior leadership roles, and served as Trustees giving them a unique and detailed understanding of the challenges that can come between experienced fundraising teams, and experienced Trustees whose areas of expertise are not within fundraising - or sometimes the charity sector.
They formed Fundraising Across the Board after serving on a trustee board together, and recognising that even with two fundraising trustees, there was still a large gap in understanding and knowledge. They have also seen that reflected across their clients, and developed Fundraising Across the Board to help meet that challenge.
