On 15 October, AskRIGHT celebrated the opening of our new Wellington office with consultants, clients, and leaders of non-profit organisations (see list below). AskRIGHT Director, Daniel McDiarmid, recalled that we had an office in Wellington, alongside FINZ in Willis Street, back when AskRIGHT was called Saints Information. The new office will be a place for staff collaboration, client meetings, donor interviews, and video-conferences in New Zealand’s capital.
Charity Fraud Awareness Week is led by an international partnership of over 40 charities, regulators professional representative bodies and other not-for-profit stakeholders working together to combat fraud against charities. This includes NZ Charities Services.

EMOTIONAL QUOTA (EQ): IQ'S OVERLOOKED COUNTERPART | EMMA EASTWOOD
Emotional Intelligence (Emotional Quota (EQ)) is the ability to recognise and manage your own — and other people’s — emotions. EQ is integral to the professional workplace, for it contributes to the mental and physical wellbeing of individuals and the collective
mentality of the team.
The Fundraising Institute of New Zealand (FINZ) hosted a Southern Symposium in Christchurch and Dunedin recently and it provided a wonderful platform for fundraisers from a
broad variety of local and national charities to come together and reconnect. Louise Walters, AskRIGHT Consultant, was privileged to engage with participants, encouraging audience interaction, sharing, and positive feedback on the topic of the 'Art of Asking for Donations' from individuals, trusts, and corporate partnerships. Louise is passionate about passing on her knowledge and experience in developing positive, sustainable, and respectful relationships with supporters, along with embedding the values of an organisation into their strategy and approach to raising money.
As we work with many not-for-profit organisations throughout New Zealand, we learn of many job openings. If you are interested in a new position, let us know!
