In this session, we’ll deep dive in to the trends we’ve seen on JustGiving over the last decade and examine the emerging ones. We’ll look at which events in your portfolio are likely to drive the most fundraising income, which ones are slowing down and which ones are growing fast!

What legacy can we create through the influence we have each and every day?

This document summarizes growth in the mud obstacle run market from 2009-2014, with the number of participants growing from 40,000 to over 4 million.

This document provides details about an event called the "Endurofit" that is searching for Singapore's fittest guy. Participants will do high-intensity interval training classes called Endurofit to see who can maintain their heart rate at 100% the longest.

The event offers different sponsorship packages for companies, including media exposure through magazines, online, and social media.
This document provides a summary and analysis of peer-to-peer fundraising data from 2014. It finds that walk events continue to represent the majority of participation and revenue. Returning participants are significantly better fundraisers than new participants, raising on average more than double. While the percentage of participants fundraising has increased slightly, over half of fundraisers only have one donation. The document recommends focusing on retaining loyal participants and making donations an inherent part of the registration process.
Fun runs and walks are the easiest and highest return on investment charity events for organizations of all sizes, especially for mid-sized and large nonprofits. A-thon events like walk-a-thons are also popular and effective at raising awareness, building community support, and increasing fundraising. Auctions can bolster event scope, attract donors, and encourage supporters to spend more while socializing and learning about the organization's mission. The top three most successful UK charity fundraising events are Race for Life, World's Biggest Coffee Morning, and London to Brighton cycle event.
The document provides an overview of fundraising strategies and principles for sport organizations. It discusses the Australian Sports Foundation (ASF), which has helped raise over $250 million for sport since 1986. The ASF has transformed to offer new fundraising and marketing skills to substantially increase funds raised for sport. While less than 1% of private philanthropic donations currently go to sport, the document argues sport should see philanthropy as a key revenue stream, like the arts sector. It then provides guidance on developing an effective fundraising strategy, building an impactful story, designing campaigns, and measuring success. A case study of Surfing Australia's "Surf for Life" program demonstrates how to structure a fundraising campaign to support disadvantaged youth participation in surfing.
This document discusses strategies for securing major gifts and donations. It notes that prospect research is essential to success but major gifts can take time to secure. Data on million pound UK donations in 2014 shows they increased from the previous year. Segmenting donors based on attributes like giving capacity and propensity can help target the most promising prospects. Behavioral science principles like anchoring, scarcity heuristics, and reciprocity can influence asking. A compelling case for support and flexibility are also important for fundraising success.

This was the year we launched our social platform for giving – where people can see what their friends are doing for the causes they care about. By introducing Feed, Social Notifications, Care and Donate Box we are helping charities like yours to reach more people, inspire more action and to raise more money.
In 2014, we helped 13,000 causes find their funding, raising an incredible $545 million between you. Here are some of the moments that stood out.
Fundraising and social media at Cystic Fibrosis IrelandJustGiving
This document discusses Cystic Fibrosis Ireland's use of social media for fundraising and advocacy purposes. It provides background on Cystic Fibrosis Ireland, which was established in 1963 to support those with cystic fibrosis. It then outlines Cystic Fibrosis Ireland's social media presence and strategies for fundraising, donor recruitment, and acknowledging supporters on Facebook and Twitter.

Case study: Irish Cancer Society and Colour Dash eventJustGiving
This document summarizes the Irish Cancer Society's Colour Dash campaign. It describes the 3 phases of the campaign: recruitment, engagement, and post-event. For recruitment, they targeted previous participants through email and promoted on their website and Facebook pages. They acquired new supporters through search engine marketing, display ads, and multi-channel outreach. Engagement utilized emails, Facebook posts, and fundraising pages to build excitement and donations. Post-event recognition included thank you emails, social media posts, and Facebook photo albums. The most effective tactics were website promotion, Facebook events, customized ads, and fundraising emails. Lessons learned the importance of balancing multiple integrated channels.

What's the value of a 'like' anyway? Sally Falvey, JustGivingJustGiving
1. Sharing content on social media can help non-profits grow their user base and increase community engagement as each share can result in more donations or shares by reaching others in social networks.
2. People are more likely to trust and engage with content shared by friends, so giving users inspiring and unique content to share helps spread awareness and support for a cause.
3. Non-profits should focus on creating timely, relevant content about inspiring stories and people or awareness days to motivate sharing and show support for their cause. Making it easy to share pre-written content can also increase sharing.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
