Enlighten Conference - Stewarding your donorsLucidity
Fundraising is about building relationships. The relationship that you have with your supporters is absolutely key to your fundraising success. But its not as simple as just asking people for money; great fundraising is about listening and then responding to your supporters needs, engaging with them in a way that is right for them, making it easy for them to get involved and showing them the difference they have made. Not just once, but again and again. For life.
With examples from both the charity and corporate world, this session will give you ideas about how to give your supporters the best and most rewarding experiences so that together you can make a lasting difference to the causes that you fundraise for.

"Giving ordinary people..Extraordinary opportunities"
A session about Crowd-Funding given by Nick Burne at THINK Consulting Solutions at the IOF National Convention in July 2011 with Ed Whiting from WeDidThis and Tamasine Johnson from the National Trust.
CrowdfundSW1 launched a new initiative to help support local charities and community groups by providing them with a platform to promote their projects and increase awareness at Microsoft HQ in London Victoria on 21 March 2012. The aim is to enable funding to reach into the heart of the local community where it is most needed.
This is the first crowd funding platform in the world to focus on fundraising for grassroots charities in a specific locality. The event (organised by CrowdfundSW1, Microsoft and Time & Talents Westminster) will be hosted by Steven D'Souza, internationally renowned speaker and author of the bestselling book Brilliant Networking.
The presentation was part of the Funding Conference in London on Monday 23 February 2015.
These presentations were part of the main plenary. Slides include Peter Lewis, Andrew Morris and Craig Dearden-Phillips MBE presentations.

Creative Clinic is a multi award-winning brand, design and digital agency. The studio (Communications Agency Of The Year 2020 – Highly Commended) has been helping start-up and established businesses, and not-for-profit organisations, to build distinctive brands, create memorable campaigns and develop highly effective digital platforms across a range of sectors (including charity, consumer, business to business, travel, food and leisure) since 2006. Our work is strategic and innovative, elevating brands through print, advertising, web and social, whilst providing specialised creative excellence, client-focused delivery and ongoing results.
This event was prompted by three developments in and/or affecting the local food and drink producers:
1.Increased demand for product – including for export
2.Cessation of a number of grant schemes – historically a source of expansion funding
3.Popularity and accessibility of Crowdfunding to businesses in the sector
For decades, Banking has innovated for the masses, but left the needs of the homeless behind
This charity concept explores the potential for incentives and rewards to transform the lives of the homeless, guiding them in tackling the long-term issues that prevent them from successfully reintegrating into society once housing is found, and helping them rediscover their life long aspirations along the way.

Austin: Chive Charities: Changing the Giving Paradigm and Finding Growth in 2020TechSoup
Slides from NetSquared Austin's December 7 event "Chive Charities: Changing the Giving Paradigm and Finding Growth in 2020"
https://local.nten.org/events/details/nten-austin-presents-online-chive-charities-changing-the-giving-paradigm-and-finding-growth-in-2020/#/
Chive Charities has changed the giving paradigm. As opposed to using a cause to raise awareness and funds, Chive Charities uses the stories of individual grant recipients to raise awareness for the causes they support: veterans and first responders with medically-related needs and rare medical diagnoses.
2020 has turned the world upside down, leaving almost no business unscathed. Putting an emphasis on four key priorities, Chive Charities has found remarkable success - growing their community of support in a year that felt impossible to do so. Erika Carley, Chive Charities' Senior Director of Operations, will speak to our tech club about their work, their impact, and she will share insights regarding how to find growth in 2020 and beyond.
Enjoy marketing basics presented in a real, informative and ready-to-use way. Enjoyed at the INfusion Media Mixer, January 29th, 2010 on the beautiful Sunshine Coast, Canada where they are doing business in a whole new way!

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

4. Stepping up your Fundraising
Agenda
1. Welcome
2. What has 2020 shown us so far?
3. Transitioning to Virtual
4. Quick wins in adopting virtual
5. Supporter Care
6. Q&A
6. 2020: What we know
The new giving normal continues
Brendan
7. COVID-19 changed fundraising
Goes without saying! We’ve all seen so many charity virtual challenges pop up in the past few
months. What we may not have expected however, was the national sports events to do it too.
● The London Marathon - gone virtual!
● The Prudential RideLondon - gone virtual!
● Boston marathon- gone virtual!
8. Virtual fundraising
comes in two extremes
● Bespoke, tailored-to-audience
fundraising challenges, such as
MS International Federation ’s The
May 50k
○ Advanced supporter drivers
○ Tailored to your people
○ Built for your cause
○ Your event - total control.
● Sector-wide, pre-made events
such as The 2.6 Challenge,
MyPrudentialRide and Virtual London
Marathon.
○ Accessible, ready to go
○ Low maintenance
○ Public domain (pretty much)
9. An engaging, vibrant national fundraising campaign
to “Save the UK’s charities”
The supporter had creative freedom.
Anyone of any ability and background could take part
in any activity, in any manner as long as they tied it
back to 2.6.
- 26 selfies taken
- 2.6 km walked/ran
- 260 km cycled
- 2600 steps per day
Thousands of charities took part, the event was
accessible and it was “people powered”.

The 2.6 Challenge
10. Visit the UK campaign
TheMay50k.com
Possibly the biggest single-charity virtual fundraising
run in the world.
A simple ask - Run a sponsored virtual 50k, in the
month of May.
- Raised incredible sums - Almost £700,000 in the
UK alone. AU$6million+ worldwide.
- Allowed MS Research & MS International to tailor
the supporter journeys depending on when and
how they met important milestones.
- Encouraged people with bespoke dashboards,
gamification badges and communications.
The charity owns the campaign, generates advocacy
through providing sharables, incentives and more.
The May 50k
11. Be bold, be agile.
BEFORE:
“We feel the €55k goal is more realistic
given the continued restrictions due to
COVID.”
AFTER:
“We are totally blown away by it [total
raised]. Not only have we actually met
the same amount [£130k] raised as our
2019 live event, but had we not done
this, we might have lost the connection
with many of our fundraisers.”
Wexford relay for live
transitioned their event with
clear and careful comms with
their supporters. Wexford Relay for Life
12. Sector-wide:
2.6 Challenge
Creative freedom for the supporter
where the supporter creates the
personalised experience through
defining their own take on the
event.
Builds ownership & advocacy.
Tailored:
The May 50k
Immersion is built by the charity
to create an enhanced
personalised experience that
utilises behaviour-based comms
and triggers.
Drives participation & activation.
These campaigns understand their supporters
Despite being very different events!
Transitioned:
Wexford Relay for Life
Transition from live event to
virtual carefully managed. Made
the most of virtual toolset, and
engaged users at their level.
Continues participation and
develops trust and activation.
13. Virtual Fatigue
“Don’t be put off by fatigue.
Virtual is still a viable solution, to the issue of lost face-to-face fundraisers. It
is also harder than it was 4-6 months ago...but this fatigue can be broken!
Charities should break away from the limited perceptions around virtual.
Virtual fundraising is much more than a strava 5k, or a fitbit marathon.
Technology has evolved. It can be a dance off, a readathon, a cook-off or a
pet challenge - just keep the idea simple, meaningful and fun.
In a way, not much has changed from the past two years- we are still
battling a form of giving fatigue. However, the smart, creative, adaptive and
bold charities that know their audiences, will thrive. Nothing has changed, it
still comes back to providing a meaningful experience and cause
We must not stay in survival mode. We must plan to thrive.”
Keith Williams
COO
Funraisin
14. Virtual is a very real solution to in person event closures and postponements. However, with
virtual fatigue becoming a thing; it is important to ensure your challenge is designed for your
people. Excite and delight them - and you will cut through the noise.
Virtual Fundraising needs to be
in tune with your audiences
Brendan’s final take-away
The method of attuning to your people, can help achieve
cut-through in the crowded market.
18. What went well?
● We changed and adapted, but kept key principles
● We listened and were sensitive to how our supporters were feeling
● We kept it simple
19. Women V Cancer
Ride the Night - 100k Your Way
● Flexibility was key
● An opportunity for engagement
● Teamwork!
20. Staying virtual
● It is accessible for small charities
● There is an appetite for it amongst our supporters
● It opens up new potential for us
21. My final piece of advice is when
transitioning to virtual, you don’t need to
reinvent the wheel
Charlotte’s Key take-away
But you do need to start with your context, your cause and
your supporters
23. The quickest wins
1. Agree success criteria
2. Prioritise
3. Measure
What does success look like?
24. The quickest wins
1. Know your audience
2. Cause
3. A simple ask
Developing the idea
25. The quickest wins
1. MVP
2. Review what’s happening
3. Iterate
Launching the idea
26. Supporter Engagement
ABF The Soldiers’ Charity
Steve
● Formed in 1944 as the Army Benevolent Fund, rebranded in 2008
● Traditional audience is retired Army Officers, National Service generation
● I joined in 2010 when there was no events team
● Now a team of 8 and annual bespoke events income of £1.5m (pre-covid)
27. Walking events
Participant experience is king
Created strong event brands that people
really engage with
● Three walking events
● Different audience profiles
● Commitment to brilliant rewarding
supporter experience
28.
29. It’s bloody hard to recruit people to events
Range of brilliant events that appeal to different audiences
● How do we encourage people to come back?
● How do we encourage people to try a different event?
● How do we recognise and reward loyalty?
30. Fundraising Army
Pan events recognition and reward scheme
Operates on an event by event basis with
promotions lists every week and certificates
reflecting ‘rank’ achieved.
Now working across events
Target is to increase retention and cross
event promotion
Just the start - regular giving, volunteering,
corporate engagement
31. My final piece of advice is just because it is
virtual doesn’t mean you can’t delight
someone.
Steve’s Final Takeaway
