Ewan Kirk speaks at Resource Alliance’s International Fundraising Congress

Ewan Kirk, founder and co-chair of the Turner Kirk Trust, was invited to speak at the Resource Alliance’s International Fundraising Congress in the Netherlands. This important event is the longest-running social impact conference in the world. It aims to address humanity’s most existential issues: ecological catastrophe, debilitating poverty, and war.

The Congress brings together philanthropic organisations and individuals to drive genuine action through four days of learning and sharing. Ewan was invited to contribute, via recorded video, to a masterclass on ‘Philanthropy & major donors.’ In his appearance, Ewan applied his philanthropic expertise and experience to a range of topics, from what philanthropists look for in a relationship with a new organisation, to his most important motivation when giving philanthropic gifts.
