Finance Focus and our fortnightly newsletter
Every two weeks, on a Wednesday, we share the latest news and insights on charity finance in our e-bulletin which goes to around 4,000+ members and subscribers.
Corporate partners are invited to share their news and updates also. From white papers and research to technical insights and thought leadership, our members want to keep up with all that’s going on.
Every quarter we also send our members and partners our digital magazine – Finance Focus. Through Finance Focus we take a deep-dive into the topics and themes that matter to our members, through podcasts, videos, technical articles and long-reads.
Sponsored content opportunities for our corporate partners
We offer our corporate partners the opportunity to share their news and thought leadership throughout the year. Sponsored slots in our fortnightly newsletter are limited to two per edition (one slot per partner), so please get in touch with the Corporate Partnership team to discuss availability.
The deadline for copy and images is five working days before each fortnightly newsletter, and ten working days before each edition of Finance Focus. Please see below for the 2025 schedule.
For information on how you can get involved with forthcoming events, including Members’ Meetings, roundtables, training programmes and conferences, speak to the team. They will be pleased to help!
