SCALE
4 billion email accounts
globally, 1.3 billion on
Facebook and 650 million on
Twitter
A highly engaged audience -
71% check their emails as
soon as they wake up in the
morning!
COST
Reduce telemarketing and face
to face costs
Upfront investment in good
CRM and email tools will allow
you to scale with limited
increased cost
RESULTS
Globally online giving grew by
13.1% in 2015 - faster than
any other channel.
Regular giving online growing
at a faster rate than one-off
giving.

CULTURE
DIGITAL IS AN OPPORTUNITY:
• Digital first approach
• ‘Fail fast and often’ mentality
• Agility and flexibility to respond as opportunities
emerge
• Commitment to empowering supporters - listening,
engaging and allowing them to lead
DIGITAL IS A THREAT
• Give up if first tests do not yield excellent responses
• Lack of flexibility to move quickly outside of planning
cycle
• Fear of controlling organisation message online
• Unwillingness to invest unless results immediately
comparable to existing fundraising channels
