How to highlight innovation in your National Fundraising Awards entry
Practical advice for fundraisers on presenting innovation effectively in Award entries.
Digital and Technology Special Interest Group
The Digital and Technology special interest group brings together fundraisers and charity professionals who are interested in how digital and technology supports effective fundraising. Open to anyone working in or with charities, the group explores topics including digital fundraising, CRM and databases, social media, data protection, accessibility, and donor experience. No technical expertise is required, just a curiosity about how technology can be used to make a positive impact in the not-for-profit sector.
Who are we and what do we do?
The Digital and Technology special interest group is for anyone working in or with charities who has an interest in fundraising and technology.
For us, technology includes (but is not limited to) websites, databases, CRM software, emails, social media and even the humble spreadsheet. This often means we discuss topics such as Gift Aid, GDPR and data protection, data hygiene, social media trends, web development, digital and innovative tech, accessibility and user/donor experience.
There's no entry exam – you don’t have to prove your l33t coding skills or execute database queries while blindfolded. All you need is an interest in how technology is used in the not-for-profit sector.
Our members are typically fundraisers, administrators, webmasters, web editors, database people and IT support staff at charities, as well as a few consultants and commercial suppliers.
