Georgie Grant Haworth has been a professional fundraiser for nearly twenty years, specialising in establishing fundraising operations or revitalising ones that have gone awry. Development Director of RGS Guildford since January 2014, she has been responsible for a 650% increase in regular donors in the last four years and recently launched one of the first Giving Days in the UK independent schools sector, raising £125,000 from over 400 donors. A major donor fundraiser by experience (and possibly nature), Georgie previously held Development Director roles at LAMDA (the London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art) and St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle. Georgie is joint Vice President of the IDPE Surrey Region and is particularly interested in the opportunities offered by independent schools development to change the educational landscape nationwide and improve education for all.
