Focus Point: Institutional Fundraising
"I am convinced by Biovision’s comprehensive strategy: Biovision starts small with the aim of effecting worldwide change. I gladly dedicate my efforts to ensure that both people and the environment benefit."
Africa is in Juliana Campos’s blood: born and raised in Switzerland, her family’s Brazilian roots also reach back to Africa. Through this she feels a strong connection to the continent and to Biovision’s mission. Before Juliana came to Biovision, she worked for two years in a small development cooperation organisation that enabled education for children and young people. Prior to this she worked as a fundraiser for a large Swiss NGO and in the corporate communications department of a private company in the FSC sphere. In addition she was active in a number of diverse business sectors. Juliana has complemented her career path by training as a PR adviser.
A part of her previous responsibilities was investor relations support. Juliana recognises parallels in fundraising, but has made a conscious decision to transition the NGO world: to campaign for more than profit-making goals. Juliana finds the innate hub function of being a fundraiser exciting. Successful fundraising is based on contributions from different sides: „ If you want to attract interest from foundations and donors, it is vital to have a good organisation behind you.“ Juliana is sure that when she is convinced by the goals and projects of the organisation, she too is convincing and full of motivation.
Juliana’s two children play an important role in her free time. She also likes to cook and relax with gardening, yoga, reading and jogging. She can also be found touring on her bike together with her partner.
