In Australia, Fundraiser Appreciation Day occurs on the first Friday of July, which is the first Friday following the end of the financial year, when we see the highest levels of donor generosity.

The theme for Fundraiser Appreciation Day 2026 is The Power Of The Ask. Fundraisers are vital in helping charitable organisations and nonprofit causes fulfil their missions by raising valuable funds and building lasting and transformative relationships with their supporters. Their commitment, skills and expertise in the sector are essential for driving social change, tackling societal challenges, and creating a better future for all.

We speak with three fundraisers about what The Power Of The Ask means to them, featuring:
Jennifer Rutkowski from Sir David Martin Foundation
David Sloan from Wesley Research Institute
Kat Crowley from Kidney Health Australia

Fifteen years is a long time to chase ghosts - but Jimmy Kyle made every year count. This week on Knock Offs, we mark the farewell of Chasing Ghosts with a deep dive into the music, the mission, and the man behind it all. A proud Thungutti songwriter who started with a borrowed guitar and ended up touring the world, Jimmy Kyle built a body of work that tackled the Frontier Wars, mental health, domestic violence, and the meaning of reconciliation. All without ever losing the humanity at the heart of every song. Pull up a chair and turn it up. This one matters.
