ALP

Create new fundraising initiatives for the programme whilst

sustaining and enhancing KFS sponsorship throughout the UK

Result

The creation of a proposal document, together with

suggested methodology on new fundraising initiatives to raise

money for KFS – whilst sustaining and enhancing KFS sponsorship

throughout the UK

Intentions: We want to… Bring our knowledge and experience to this project

because we want it to succeed, having seen and felt the benefits of this work.

Discern the time we give to this because we want to use this project as an opportunity to practice having self, others and context in balance. 

Create a legacy for the future of the M2L to build upon and grow from a solid financial base

Inspire people to want to join in creating finances for the organisation

The growth, learning and

progress we made as a team

whilst working on our ALP

together

Were consciously aware of Self, Others and Context accommodating differences . Challenges in group process and geographical separation were met by:

Valuing all 4 axis

Clarification of participation and roles

Use of baseball for teams

Uses of power in decision making

Types of conversations, including Skype

Trusting and accessing our higher purposes to sustain a collective work ethic

Giving & receiving bold support as necessary: modelled with Alex Walford

Team empowered & celebrated individual differences with a sensitivity to:

The growth, learning and

development gained by

individual members of the

team

Susan

Growth: developed faith in group process

Blind Spot: accessed feelings, provided practical support & mentored with patience & willingness

Realisation: personal judgments affect embracing all styles of leadership. Acknowledged that a team needs all 4 corners of the axis

Personal: released judgment and accept reality

Hermione Growth: Fundraising for MTL is challenging because although there is a valuable product it is difficult to articulate

Blind Spot: Asking for what I want rather than expecting clairvoyance

Realisation: Allowing vulnerability, trusting life and asking for support when needed

Personal: puting time parameters in place, Information Communication Technology (ICT) and a huge individual contribution.

Úna

Growth: Equal value of all four axis

Blind Spot: “Inspirational” axis needs to develop self-esteem and self acknowledge. Acts on bold support and feedback

Realisation: Challenge and benefits of group process after periods of solitude

Personal: Seeks inclusion and self trust in a group

Jane

Growth: has the capacity for bold support and partnership in the face of dramatic behaviour – using baseball

Blind Spot: self circle out of balance

Realisation: accesses all four corners of the axis and moves between them fluently

Personal: good leader of group process where previously was fearful and avoided

KharmaGrowth: greater understanding of the differences between people, everyone has something to contribute

Blind Spot: not trusting self as a leader and facilitator

Realisation: loves facilitating processes and sees self as a facilitator in everything undertaken. Had a tendency to shy away from this strength

Personal: Greater esteem as a leader, now values self in this respect

Contextual blocks and leversLevers Blocks

The ALP proposal enables the access to a social ‘piece’ as learning and as a means of generating fundraising and future enrolment.

Kairos has not got a good business case for the purpose of external fundraising

We have a website where this can be addressed by providing an opportunity for donation, so that this can occur with greater ease. Letters sent to students on the Monday after their training to source sponsorship/donation

No obvious procedure in place for asking for funds except at the end of trainings or focus courses.

Opportunity to create an approved brief for an ‘elevator pitch’

We don’t have a clear description of benefits of M2L training because it is experiential, therefore we do not have a tool for raising money in that respect

We do have 2 databases. We need to identify ways of using them more effectively together.

Database. We have 2 of these but they are not as powerful as they could be for fundraising

Proposal Document Key Recommendations

1) Transparency about the financial structure of the courses

2) Expand solicitation - all Trustees to have a role

3) Invite students to create social events as a fundraising and personal development opportunity

4) Use charitable giving opportunities on trading websites

5) Improve donor stewardship

6) Appoint a Patron; invest in integrated fundraising and course management system; develop Trustee induction course
