The document discusses integration, which refers to combining fundraising and campaigning efforts. It notes the motivations for integration include fundraising goals, supporter acquisition, and leveraging public support for advocacy. Integration can offer supporter involvement, connection and loyalty, as well as people power to support advocacy efforts. The document outlines what successful integration looks like, including coherence, integrity, alignment, and coordination. It also discusses challenges of integration such as leadership, data management, communication strategies, and organizational mindset. Case studies show supporters who engage in campaign actions through things like petitions are more likely to donate. The opportunity of integration is to move supporters up a pyramid of involvement from observers to leaders.

15. Does it work?
Care2 stats from the US:
• “Non-donors who take action online are 3.5 times more likely to donate
than non-donors who get e-mail but haven’t taken action,”
• Existing donors who take action online are 2.3 times more likely to
donate than donors in the e-mail file who haven’t.
“I feel like I can do a lot more when I am involved with them personally”
“I just wanted to thank Lisa for her letter in which she provided a postcard
and a petition with addressed envelope. She made it so easy for me to
respond and I appreciate that. And she didn't ask for money at this time,
either. Also appreciated, since I always send money when I can.”

23. Our great opportunity?
“Fundraisers will wake up to the fact that they are selling neither their
organisations nor their causes, nor their missions and certainly not all the
nuts and bolts and insignificant minutiae of what they do. Rather they are
promoting joy, the warm glow, the exhilaration, the sense of achievement
and fulfillment, even the meaning of life. As business life and political life are
so discredited now, the timing for all this could not be better now.”
Ken Burnett: http://www.kenburnett.com/Blog2020vision.html
But fundraisers cannot do this alone. While the basic offer is,
“If you give us money and we’ll sort out the problem” then we
are missing the chance to engage the donor in the one thing
that will really excite them – the chance to change the world.

59. What does this mean for you
• Do you know why someone would support you?
• Do people give to you for the same reasons they campaign for you?
• Can you match your needs to their needs? And your values to their
values?

68. Do emotions evoke responses?
Emotions that evoke responses Emotions that don’t evoke responses
Disgust: Causes disengagement,
Anger: Typically involves attempts to although it can trigger
redress injustice attempts to cleanse oneself of
offending objects / ideas
Hope: Creates optimism which is
important if encouraging risk Sadness: Causes disengagement, and
taking sometimes efforts to change
one’s circumstances
Happiness: Happy people are most likely

inactivity

Fundraising, campaigning and behaviour
change are not about being rational
70.
71. Fundraising skills are key to inspiring action
• Reach = the right audience and channel
• Relevance = connection to their world
• Resonance = emotionally moving
• Realism = confidence it makes a difference
i.e. clear need, clear solution, a clear role for our supporters,
clear ask for the task
• Reward = thanks feedback, appreciation
(before you start again ...)
72. Social psychology and public
campaigning
Influence and persuasion
– the importance of the big six…
• Reciprocation
• Commitment and consistency
• Scarcity
• Liking
• Authority
• Social proof
Influence – the psychology of persuasion

• More on psychology to really
freak out those who believe
we are independent

75. Social psychology and public
campaigning – why Dove?
• Reciprocation – We didn’t do this one (but I’ll come
back to it later…)
• Commitment and consistency – Initial easy action for
our supporters against the Chair of the Round Table on
sustainable Palm Oil
• Scarcity – disappearing forest
• Liking – Oang-utan (not Greenpeace!!), and their
favorite brand good here too
• Authority – 3-year investigation
• Social proof – well this is where Flickr and the ad
agencies came in…

125. What and Why
Supporters knit hats for
newborns and add a
message label for the Prime
minister
• Poorest babies vulnerable to cold
• Engage traditional fundraising
supporters in:
– Our new child survival campaign
– Political campaigning
• Show support for aid from
‘unusual suspects’
125
126. How
• Campaign Brand - Knit One Save One
(March - Oct 2008)
• DM / WoM - StC channels
• PR - Paul O’Grady, Women’s Weekly,
Sun, local and regional press
• Political - PM hand-in and MP events
(Westminster and constituency)
• Follow up - ‘campaigning explained’
mail with further ask
• Hats - Kenya, S Africa, Afghanistan,
Mongolia, Tibet
126
127. What happened
• 800,000 hats
• 100,000 knitters
• 40,000 messages to PM
• 20,000 new campaigners + data
• 2,800 second action cards
• £500k equivalent PR
• 50 MP’s actively involved
• 10 constituency events
• 1 PM quoted Save the Children
campaign in speeches
127
128. So…
• Start with your audience
• Make it simple, emotional, creative
and visual with tangible impact
• Don’t get all ‘political’ with
supporters, media or targets (well not
all the time)
• When people invest time they think
• New approaches refresh old hands
• Success brings challenges -
messaging control, logistics, data,
budget….
128
130. Why
• Israel launch massive air
and ground attack on Gaza
(late Dec 08 - early Jan 09)
• ‘Response’ to Hamas rockets
• ‘Like 1.5m people on Isle of White’
• 50% U16
• Hugely polarised media
• Regardless of politics
children in real danger
130
131. What and How
• Public pressure for ceasefire
• Build brand as ‘leading
independent emergency
responder’
• Provide action as an outlet
• Place press ads on 10th & 11th
Jan
• Offer txt response + permission
to contact
• Support with traditional media
work
131
132. What happened
• Ads + back-end set up in 4
days
• Guardian, Times,
Independent, Telegraph
• And then to our surprise…
– 100,000 txt
– Extensive digital media pick up
– 83,000 ‘pass to friend’ follow up
txt
– PM personally tracking response
and using in negotiations
132
133. Taking it further
• Huge pool of new contacts
• No email or postal data
• Took risk on follow up
calling
• 100k calls
• 8,960 new regular givers
– High average annual donation
• Campaign ROI of 1.4
– Over 1, including initial media
costs
133
134. And for campaigning…
Great first phase but limited
opportunity for follow up…
– Gaza not a long term policy or lobbying
priority
– Hard to build journey as very issue specific
group
– Limited resources for any campaign follows
ups where no email captured
134
135. So…
• High profile moments drive response and longer term
value, if you can catch them right
– Be flexible and quick off the mark
– Offer a specific, tangible first ask, with a clear purpose
– Build with relevant second asks and feedback
– Integrate campaigning and fundraising
• BUT….sustainable public campaigning needs a longer
term integrated policy and political strategy
135
137. Why and What
Financial crisis shows
how global financial
markets make vast
profit at public’s
expense and hurt poor
• Bonuses continue after bail out
and turn down
• Unique moment of political and
public opportunity
• Campaign for Global Financial
Markets to pay:
– full cost of their part in crisis
– fair share towards global public goods
like health, education and climate
change
137 – tiny transaction tax = $20bn in
revenue for UK alone
138. How
• Reframe for our times…
a tiny tax on bankers to make a massive
difference…
good…fair… workable… common sense…
• Not naïve, ranty, complicated, bad or a cost
you…
• Serious heart - political and policy
• Strong popular identity – visual, simple, flexible,
shareable, embodying idea
• Broad ‘lite’ coalition - focused, shared interest at
moment in time
• Channel anger - debate, sharing, action, creativity
138
139. What happened
• Richard Curtis develops Robin Hood Tax
brand
• 100 + organisations sign up
• 190,000 on facebook
• Top trending tweet
• 47,000 sign ups
• 20,000 actions
• Going global
• ‘Robin Hood Tax’ widely used term
• Extensive coverage as ‘serious’ and ‘viable’
option
• IMF support tax on financial markets
• Sarkozy, Merkel, Osborne, Obama accept
banks must pay fair share for mess
• Battle is now on the type of tax and how much!
139
140. So…
• Never waste a good crisis -
opportunity, alignment, energy,
engagement, emergent activity
• Make it simple, visual, shareable,
timely emotionally resonant
(and work with a brilliant communicator)
• BUT ensure it goes deep
• Mix ‘voices’ and ‘tones’
• Let it out there and ride the waves
• Be reactive and flexible when needed
• Plan in phases
• keep an eye on horizon
140
