[Innovations in fundraising ‘knowledge base’](https://innovationsinfundraising.org/doku.php#knowledge_base) and [‘Experience of workplace activists’](https://innovationsinfundraising.org/doku.php?id=iifwiki:experiences_of_workplace_activists) … was the knowledge sharing I tried to get going (as you can see, not very much was shared)… as an academic, with very limited funds.

<summary>Consideration: Key obstacles/questions for workplace action </summary>

"Format questions:"

1. Which audiences
2. Who (internal/external)
3. What formats? Fundraiser and a talk or just one?
