Rogare – which is Latin for ‘to ask’ – is the fundraising think tank at the Plymouth University Hartsook Centre for Sustainable Philanthropy. It has been established to identify new solutions to some of fundraising’s most pressing problems and challenges. Rogare is the engine that turns academic ideas into actionable information for fundraisers by pulling together the academic and practitioner branches of the fundraising profession. Their remit is to explore under-researched or ‘under-thought’ topics and tackle them by using the lens of ‘critical fundraising’, which is a concerted attempt to critically and constructively evaluate issues and identify practical solutions to them. Rogare aims to achieve a paradigm shift, by the mid-2020s, in the way that fundraisers use theory and evidence to analyse, tackle and overcome the challenges faced by their profession. Rogare’s Theory of Change for Fundraising is available here.
