Theory of Change

How we are going to bring about change in fundraising

To bring about the change we want to see in our profession, Rogare has
developed the a Theory of Change for fundraising:

​

  • By enabling fundraisers to Ask the right questions about

  • Theory and

  • Evidence

  • through Critical thinking,

  • in a mode of enquiry we call ‘Critical fundraising’,

  • we can establish a Critical Fundraising Network

  • that will engender a Culture of questioning, in which we will explore

  • Under-researched issues (evidence), and

  • Under-thought issues (theory)

  • leading to Better theory and Better evidence

  • that will close Knowledge gaps,

  • and, by Influencing the influencers

  • Embed new knowledge and thinking in professional practice

  • resulting in a Paradigm shift in how fundraisers use Theory and Evidence to
    tackle
    Professional challenges.
