HEAD OF CHARITABLE SUPPORT ORGANISATION WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM COMPANIES AND INDIVIDUALS INTERESTED IN FUNDRAISING

Farah Williamson.

Farah Williamson set up the Dubai office of The Social Investment Consultancy UAE in 2011.

My background..

I’m British, but have lived and worked all over the world. Prior to moving to Dubai, I have worked in Uganda, Rwanda, Canada and the UK  in the charity, philanthropy and fundraising sectors.

I worked at the UK’s largest fundraising charity, Cancer Research UK, where I was responsible for overseeing key relationships with major donors, trusts and foundations. Moving from healthcare to international development, I joined international water and sanitation NGO, WaterAid, before moving to my role as CEO of The Social Investment Consultancy UAE.

My business..

The Social Investment Consultancy UAE is headquartered in London, UK – and I set up the Dubai office in August 2011. We provide businesses, foundations, philanthropists, charities, and social enterprises with the advice and support they need to maximise their social impact.

We can help companies to create an effective CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) strategy, to make your staff more engaged and productive through meaningful community engagement, to help you raise big gifts for good causes, or to set up and run a charitable foundation.

I am looking for..

If you know about any great charities in the UAE or the region, I’d love you to put me in touch with them.

I’d also love to hear from companies or individuals that are interested in philanthropy.
