What is the collective noun for fundraisers? There isn't one of course, but that leaves the field open for us to come up with one.
The issue has just sparked into life on Twitter with a group of charity sector staff suggesting possible terms.
So far we've come up with:
* a gift
* a nuisance
* a rabble
* an ask
* a storytelling
* a commitment
* a relationship
* a passion
* a finery
* a convention [topical given we've just had the National Convention here in the UK]
I also suggested a Sumption, Stringer or Kirkley of Fundraisers, nods to our profession's past.
With thanks to @AmandaSanter, @causeperfect, and @derekhumphries.
The conversation did then move onto a collective name for consultants, but I think I'll draw a veil over that...
Can you come up with anything better as a collective noun for fundraisers?
