Simon Scriver

Co-Founder

Simon Scriver

Hello! If you’ve just seen me speak or found me online then here’s some quick links you might find helpful:

I’m the co-founder of Fundraising Everywhere. With my superlative business partner NB and our amazing team we provide tens of thousands of fundraisers around the world the training, tools, community and support to be happy and effective in their roles. We’re an online community (built to be accessible and equitable) but you can also dip in to our in-person picnics, screenings and pizza parties on those days that you have enough spoons. Join us!

I’m also a recovering fundraiser, coach/mentor, trainer, keynote speaker, podcast delighter and lovable imp. I love supporting and cheerleading and helping people achieve things that they’ve been fooled in to believing they’re not capable of yet. I’ve been called “The Fundraiser’s Fundraiser”.

Fundraising Magazine put me in its Top 20 Most Influential Fundraisers. I’ve also won Fundraising Ireland’s ‘Small Budget, Big Impact’ and ‘Supplier Of The Year’ Awards, Eircom’s Start-up Award, and was a 2019 finalist of Charities Institute Ireland’s Communications Agency of the Year.

I’m a TEDx speaker and have previously won the Toastmasters UK & Ireland International Speech Contest, representing in the world finals where I was disqualified for going over time by a few seconds. I have a Diploma in Fundraising and a Certificate in Fundraising, and I’m working towards my degree in Theology.

I’m especially mindful of my mental health and try to be open and human about it without scaring you off. I’m woke but also fluent in old white man and experience clairsentience.

I believe there’s enough for everyone and we should act like it.

Need ideas? You’ll find more of my sessions in our on-demand library, and remember that Fundraising Everywhere Members get ongoing access to everything.

Please reach out to simon@fundraisingeverywhere.com if you’d like to book me for a speaking event or have some wild idea.
