Traditionally, charities separate fundraising and advocacy. But in our connected world, our supporters don’t categorise themselves that way. International campaigns have shown that people are 60% more likely to donate after having taken an action for a cause (source: Blue State Digital). But how do you start unifiying campaigning and fundraising?

This expert workshop from Digital Charity Lab and Care2 will show you how to bring fundraising and campaigning together at your organisation. This workshop will cover*:

  • Online donor acquisition, online campaigning
  • Online and cross-channel donor cultivation and retention
  • Breaking down internal barriers, building internal consensus and nimble campaigning
  • How different types of advocacy (political, behaviour change, awareness, consumer) can be connected with fundraising campaigns
  • Building supporter journeys that bring people from action to donation
  • Case studies from Irish and international charities
  • Practical exercises
  • And more…

This full day workshop includes lunch for attendees.
