At Footprints 4 Sam, we are always looking for ways to strengthen our work and reach more children who are living with a life-limiting illness, their families and the healthcare professionals who care for them.
To do this, we need not only to continue delivering essential support today, but also to build a sustainable funding base for the future.
As part of our Scaling for Impact project, we have taken an important step by bringing in an experienced fundraising consultant into the team.
With more than 20 years experience across fundraising, business development and strategy, she will help us identify new funding opportunities, develop corporate partnerships and build relationships with trusts and foundations.
Fundraising takes time, research and dedicated expertise. It is about finding the right partners, developing compelling proposals and showing potential funders the difference their support can make.
Having someone focused on this work will allow us to ensure that consistent attention is applied to sourcing new donor funding, thereby strengthening our existing funding pipeline and building additional relationships that can future proof the Trust alongside our governance procedures and other strict management criteria.
Next year Footprints 4 Sam will be celebrating 10 year’s of impact. We are extremely proud of what we have achieved and our future plans are even more ambitious!
To ensure many sustainable decades ahead, building our donor base is key given the associated project costs and macro economics of our times.
Our work relies on sustainable funding to provide transport for essential hospital appointments, improve hospital environments, offer practical support to families and advocate for more compassionate care.
This appointment is an investment in the future of Footprints 4 Sam and our GlobalGiving supporters are an important part of this journey.
Your contributions help us continue our work while building the capacity needed to grow our impact.
Thank you for believing in our vision and for helping us create a future where more children and families receive the care, dignity and support they deserve!
Until next time,
The Footprints 4 Sam Team
