A Minute With Rosemary Oliver, Fundraising Director, Amnesty International Canada

“Our biggest fundraising challenge right now is the banking and credit card system. A decade ago you were guaranteed almost 100 percent fulfillment of sustaining gifts. Today that just isn’t so. New regulations and PCI compliance make it increasingly difficult and more expensive. It is a huge challenge for nonprofits and charities. Adapting to rapidly changing rules is costing additional money every year, and it is money that should be going to our life-changing human-rights work.”
