Community – Berry Street is supported by, and
contributes to, a fairer and more inclusive community
6.1
Fundraising
We undertook our 3rd donor survey, with 378 donors responding. The increase in the
number and percentage of donors responding is great as it enables us to have a
clearer picture of why our donors support us and how they like to be communicated
with.
Our Major Donor program is continuing to build and this is a key focus area for 2010.
There were a significant number of external fundraising events and in-lieu
celebrations held by our supporters during 2009. This is an area we will continue to
support as it requires less resourcing from Berry Street compared to events we run
ourselves.
The internal Berry Street Staff Giving Fund raised $3,077 in the 2008/2009 financial
year. Fifty-three (53) staff members are currently contributing to this Fund.
We have begun a series of regional visits to better understand their needs, which will
enable us to approach appropriate organisations to procure the appropriate items.
