- To support and enable networking among black fundraisers.
- To enhance the skills and ability of black fundraisers.

Vision
The BfN vision is that every black fundraiser has the skills and the
expertise to
become a leader within their given sector.
Mission
To ensure black fundraisers have access to appropriate and professional
support and that black community organisations have access to professional
fundraising expertise.
The Black Fundraisers Network provides a forum for fundraisers from the
black and minority ethnic (BME) community to meet, share experiences and
access professional support.
As black professionals reflecting a wide range of charities and not for
profit
organisations we are well aware of the feelings of isolation and solitude
confronted as a black fundraiser working in this sector.
The principal aims of the Black Fundraisers Network are:
- To support and enable networking among black fundraisers
- To enhance the skills and ability of black fundraisers
- To promote fundraising both from and within the BME Community
- To improve access to fundraising expertise by BME organisations
- To be a body which represents the views of black fundraisers, both
- within the Institute of Fundraising and externally across the
sector.
The Group will achieve its aims through:
- Regular meetings and events, providing an opportunity to network with
other
fundraisers and a forum for discussion.
- Arranging workshops and seminars that provide an opportunity for members
to participate in skills development and mutual learning.
