Details
A common challenge in digital fundraising is the failure to engage supporters effectively before making a financial ask. This is what we call the ‘Engagement Gap’.This session explores how to cultivate deeper relationships through meaningful engagement actions. We will discuss designing strategies that go beyond simple clicks to build lasting trust and connection. Using real-world examples and actionable insights, you will learn to create experiences where supporters feel truly valued. We will also demonstrate how you can integrate wider engagement with your donation asks. By closing the engagement gap for your organisation you can improve the long-term results of your individual giving program.
Key learnings from this session:
- Why engagement matters so much in digital fundraising.
- How to identify the engagement gap in the supporter experience.
- Practical ideas and examples for engagement actions that will inspire you.
