A 7 minute presentation prepared for the Institute of Fundraising (IoF) Digital conference on 28 Sep 2015 in London, UK. It focused on a few examples of how campaigning and fundraising can be integrated. It came about because at the IoF Convention in June 2015, campaigning was not even mentioned in any presentation summaries.

Volunteering means more than time. It means risk. Ebola is highly contagious. Health professionals have already died fighting it. But if there's any group of people that would consider taking this risk for their fellow human beings, it's our community. I and others on the Avaaz team are ready to take that risk with you, traveling to the front lines of this crisis. From: Ricken Patel – Avaaz Subject: People vs. Ebola 18

I can barely believe it - thousands of us have volunteered to risk our lives at the front line of the Ebola crisis, including hundreds of doctors and health workers! And you have to see what the volunteers are writing -- it's beautiful.

Editor's Notes
- 1
- Most supporters don’t care how you are organised internally, they just wish to know What the problem is What can be done to solve the problem How they can help solve it So your starting point shouldn’t be that your department doesn’t do fundraising, campaigning or volunteer management It should be what is required to solve the problem and how can supporters help.
- As with anything, campaign fundraising has the potential for runaway success. In this example, a campaign to fund “atheist” ads on London busses ended up surpassing its £10,000 goal by over £100,000 Luck is a big part of this, but so was having BBC news media coverage Donors were living around the world because but didn’t care as they loved the idea so much
- Money can even be fundraised for uses that are symbolic or fun In this example from GetUp in Australia, they crowdfunded a skywriter to write “vote yes” above the Australian Parliament as MPs arrived to remind MPs of voter views
- Small donation levels can still be powerful if they are strategic In this example, GetUp fundraised for this this young refugee - who had been in migrant detention as a child - to travel to talk with Australian senators This campaign won by overturning a policy of charging refugees for the cost of their detention It cost only a few thousand Australian dollars from a few hundred supporters
- Specific asks are easier to fundraise for and are more likely to have a deadline and thus urgency 38Degrees in the UK regularly fundraises for a range of specific campaigning needs
- Using fundraising as part of campaign is about more than just the money It provides social proof that others support the campaign It enables tangible campaign activities that might be otherwise unaffordable It influences politicians because they know getting donations is more difficult so it is also has political impact
- Donations are also a great indicator of which supporters are willing to provide deeper support In this example, the primary ask is signing a petition, but the secondary ask is for a donation So the supporters who participate in both help us identify which supporters might be more committed
- And, of course, you can fundraise based on your campaigning record. While this doesn’t tend to be as compelling for most people, people do like supporting success
- Most supporters don’t care how you are organised internally, they just wish to know What the problem is What can be done to solve the problem How they can help solve it So your starting point shouldn’t be that your department doesn’t do fundraising, campaigning or volunteer management It should be what is required to solve the problem and how can supporters help.
