ROBERT ASTICK CFRE

BA (Hons)​ Humanities

Committed to excellence. Robert is the co-founder of Raisor, a family run consultancy based in the UK. After a successful career with the British Armed Forces, Robert began fundraising in 1993, performing both in-house and consultancy roles. Robert has managed both capital and revenue fundraising campaigns and programmes for often challenging projects.

"Robert is a brilliant and energetic fund-raising manager, who taught me everything I know about how to overcome embarrassment and use fund-raising as an effective tool for team-building and for spreading the news about your project or organisation - provided you are really committed to it yourself. I was the 'Frontman' and Robert the Campaign Manager for raising the money to build the £2 m Multi-Faith Centre at the University of Derby against a tough deadline. We did it! Have a look on line at www.multifaithcentre.org."
