Louise Parkin is the founder and managing director of Saints Information Ltd – a dedicated fundraising research service. Originally trained in librarianship, a strong interest in voluntary sector issues led her to a variety of information management roles within not-for-profit organisations.
During a ten-year period based in London, she specialised in fundraising research and since then, has worked with over 100 not-for-profit organisations in this emerging field. With offices in London and Wellington, Saints now serves a growing range of Australian and New Zealand charities, as well as UK clients via an overnight service.
Her bottom line is a challenge to contribute to the “highest possible good” on a daily basis. The passion she feels for her daily work comes across clearly in her workshops which are jammed-packed with new information about new sources of funding for fundraisers at all levels..
