OUR STORY

TONY

&nicky

elischer

Throughout an illustrious career of over thirty years in fundraising, Tony Elischer was known and respected as a highly inspirational and accomplished fundraiser and leader. Tony was passionate about drawing out the talents of individuals and influenced countless aspiring fundraisers to learn and progress to become the next generation of fundraising leaders.

Nicky Elischer_edited_edited_edited_edit

NICKY ELISCHER launched the foundation in memory of her dear, late husband Tony, after hearing an overwhelming number of stories of how he helped and guided individuals in their fundraising careers. She was very very hands-on, particularly with the selection process of new mentees and was determined to continue helping talented individuals reach their potential. Upon her very sad passing, Nicky left the foundation a significant gift in her will. This generous legacy means that the work of The Elischer Foundation has been safeguarded and we look forward to welcoming many more mentees to our mentoring programme in years to come.
