“𝗜𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝘁, 𝘀𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗜.”

In our most recent keynote, Emad Kiyaei told us how, when he was unable to contact his family in Iran for 18 days after the war broke out, he drew on advice his father gave him to manage in times of despair: Go outside and find a flower.

His advice is a reminder that, no matter what, spring will come and things will blossom. No matter how powerful the people shaping global events may appear, they cannot stop the change that will eventually come.

The wide-ranging conversation with Emad, Sharon Dolev, and Ambassador Lina Arafat from the Middle East Treaty Organization centred on what it takes to keep working towards a shared purpose.

We explored trust across difference, staying in relationship through disagreement, exhaustion, and despair; the role of love; and the things that allow us to continue when the odds are stacked against us.

Thanks again to Emad, Sharon, and Lina for bringing such openness, vulnerability, and humanity to a very important conversation.

"𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗲𝘄."

Mohammad Hamdan told us this. He runs fundraising for SOS Children's Villages Palestine, working in Bethlehem with movement restrictions, fuel shortages, and a situation that changes daily.

Today, in spite of ever-increasing challenges, Mohammad's team raises almost ten times what they did five years ago.

He told us a story of a business leader whose company had been forced to close most of its branches, but who still wanted to support the community. He couldn't make a large corporate gift, so he invited his his customers to add a contribution to their invoices. An initial constraint turned into an avenue for a whole community to offer support.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘂𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗱, 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀.

These are the kinds of conversations behind 𝘜𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦, our theme for the International Fundraising Congress next month.

This Thursday, you're invited to join us as we welcome three people whose work offers an extraordinary example of working together against the odds: Emad Kiyaei, Iranian expert on security, diplomacy, and existential risk; Sharon Dolev, Israeli peace and human rights activist; and Jordanian diplomat Ambassador Lina Arafat.

As co-directors of the Middle East Treaty Organization (METO), Emad, Sharon, and Lina work together towards a shared vision for a peaceful, secure and prosperous Middle East.

Here, Emad explains what you can expect from the session - including how they find ways to build trust, maintain their relationships through disagreements, and keep working towards a shared purpose when the world around them wants to pull them apart.

🚀🚀 𝗙𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞𝗦 𝗢𝗨𝗧 🚀🚀

In four weeks, almost 1,000 fundraisers, campaigners, activists, and changemakers from all over the world will arrive in the Netherlands for the International Fundraising Congress.

Forty-five years of running this event has taught us a few things - and one of them is a little awkward to admit... The sessions aren't always what people remember.

They remember breakfast with someone from an organisation three times the size of theirs facing the same issues they are. They remember the masterclass where someone articulates what they've been wrestling with out loud. The casual encounter on the shuttle bus that turned into a five-year collaboration.

Being part of IFC Online is a practical solution for the thousands who can't travel - but it could never replace what happens when you're actually in the room.

If you want to be in that room, this is the moment to secure your place. Masterclasses are selling out, travel costs are climbing, visas take time, and internal approvals always run longer than we plan for.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴-𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻?

For Tea Leaf Trust, it means a letting go and a shifting of power in the most fundamental of terms: a founder stepping aside to enable local youth leadership.

With two former students now heading up two parallel organisations, Tea Leaf Trust and social enterprise Cookstove Project, they have provided employment for hundreds of other former students - and almost all of them are under the age of 30.

In this frank and interactive masterclass, three different perspectives on one mission will help you look at your own organisation’s potential for transformation in a brand new way. You’ll learn how change on this scale isn’t linear - and definitely isn’t always easy.

Twenty organisations coming to the International Fundraising Congress this October aren't just attending - they're coaching, guiding, and training.

Oxfam on alternative financing. The RNLI on fundraising leadership. CARE on rebuilding your broken funding model. The International Rescue Committee on growth that doesn't cost trust. Comic Relief on audience-led decision-making. Médecins Sans Frontières / MSF on scaling impact. Greenpeace MENA on Islamic finance. Plan International on narrative power. The Fred Hollows Foundation on legacy pipelines. Save the Children International on acquisition.

That's the difference between an event like IFC 2026 and conferences with a speaker circuit. The people leading our masterclasses and workshops spend the other 51 weeks of the year 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬.
