A safe space to connect, learn, share, and thrive — for neurodivergent fundraisers and the allies who champion them.
After nine years in the fundraising sector, our founder Jonathan Levy had never knowingly met another neurodivergent fundraiser. Then he shared his story on stage at the Chartered Institute of Fundraising Convention.
8
neurodivergent fundraisers found him within ten minutes of his talk finishing. And the number hasn't stopped growing since.
66%
of neurodivergent fundraisers say their neurodivergence has caused difficulties finding or retaining work in the sector.

A movement — not just a platform. We exist to champion neurodivergent people across the fundraising sector, improve employment outcomes, and create a sector where every kind of brain can thrive.
A members-only forum where you don't have to mask, explain yourself, or fit in. Just show up as you are.
Online events — speaker spotlights, panel discussions, and peer roundtables throughout the year.
A bursary for neurodivergent fundraisers to access training, qualifications, and opportunities they couldn't otherwise afford.
We're becoming a Community Interest Company — because this movement deserves a proper, permanent home.
But we are not all marginalised by it. This movement is for fundraisers who are — including those with:
Self-identification is always accepted. No diagnosis needed.
"None of these traits are due to a lack of intelligence — but sadly, these fundraisers sometimes report feeling, or even being told, that they're careless, lazy, stupid, or unprofessional. That has to change."
— Jonathan Levy, Founder
