Public Fundraising and Mass Engagement
Public fundraising is ever-changing. As fundraisers, we need to constantly adapt to a fast-paced, and now digitally dominated world. Our donors want to engage across multiple platforms, and as fundraisers, we need to steward those relationships – both on and offline.
Sessions will also explore how mass participation events - virtual, hybrid and in-person - have evolved in the last 10 years and what charities predict the future holds.
This track will cover both traditional and innovative fundraising - from unique spins on direct mail, through to gaming fundraisers and value exchange campaigns - whilst also demonstrating how to grow loyalty and most importantly, create unique donor experiences.

Hear from a diverse range of charitable institutions, professional fundraisers and agencies with expertise in developing innovative ways to generate sustainable income, and in creating strategies to drive donor and Board engagement.

From building fundraising teams and donor pipelines from scratch, to developing innovative campaigns to successfully navigate the current fundraising climate - this track will provide practical hints and tips, through a series of engaging case studies, to help you succeed in your role!
