About the Event: QLD Trusts and Foundations - Building Strong Relationships with Funders
 

Keen to raise more funds from trusts and foundations? Then, join us at this special session to get a behind-the-scenes insight into raising funds from trusts and foundations.

Grant Hooper, Senior Manager Granting at Equity Trustees will speak from the perspective of both the funder and key advisor to Foundations. Equity Trustees is one of Australia’s largest specialist trustee companies, having provided families with philanthropic and executor support and services since 1888. Earle Johnston, Relationship Manager Philanthropy (QLD) from The Salvation Army, will share a practical case study of their funding through The Sylvia and Charles Viertel Charitable Foundation, showing the real importance of building relationships with Donors and Funders. This duo have previously delivered successful presentations together; most recently at the 2019 FIA conference.

Earle Johnston CFRE
Development Manager
The Salvation Army

In 2009 Earle entered the hallowed doors of QUT to commence his higher education journey and his life hasn’t been the same since!  After experiencing redundancy (twice) from corporate Australia, he reinvented himself as a fundraiser - initially in a generalist capacity in community radio (Family Radio 96five in Brisbane) and then began a specialist focus on major gift fundraising at one of Australia’s most loved charities, The Salvation Army. With more than six years in this role, he is grateful for the opportunity to work with HNW individuals and families, trusts and foundations and corporate partnerships here in Queensland and nationally.

Running parallel with his day job, Earle’s interest in corporate governance spans nearly 20 years with previous experience in education and community radio and he currently holds a board role at Bendigo Community Bank Acacia Ridge franchise, is a Council Member at CHC Christian Heritage College, is President of QUT Alumni Board and is a Council Member at QUT.
