Nick
Jaffer
Philanthropy Advisor
Nick advises philanthropists confidentially on how they can structure their giving effectively to support the causes and issues for which they have a great passion. At the same time, we works with boards, senior executives and fundraisers in education, health and medical research, arts and community services sectors. Nick’s goal is to help these organisations achieve their vision and mission by maximising their fundraising performance and raising more money.
Nick began his career in Canada, working with organisations including the Leukaemia Research Fund, Aga Khan Foundation and Alberta Lung Association. These led to his roles as Manager, Annual Giving and Senior Development Officer at the University of Alberta during its milestone $193million campaign – at the time the 3rd largest university campaign in Canadian history.
Nick moved to Australia in 2001 to become Director, Foundation & Alumni Relations at Curtin University (Perth) and in 2005 joined the University of Sydney as Director of Development where he directed the University-wide fundraising program, including several campaigns.
Under Nick’s guidance, Sydney University tripled its number of donors and grew fundraising revenues from $20 million to $75 million per year leading into the University’s current $750million Inspire Campaign.
Nick has received awards from the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), the Canadian Council for the Advancement of Education (CCAE) and the Alberta Association of Fund Raising Executives (AAFRE), and have presented at workshops/conferences in North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
I think all of us in Australia remember the 2019 bushfires and the devastating impact they had on wildlife. But, I think fewer understand that those lives lost – an estimated 3 billion – impact the very survival of both humans and the planet we live on because everything is connected, people, wildlife, nature, the oceans, and the air we breathe. It’s why WEO is so important. Through the power of cinema and storytelling, we have the opportunity to raise consciousness on this urgent issue. And, not just in 2023, but year after year, for decades to create change. This is just the beginning. How could you not be excited about that?
