The digital landscape isn’t slowing down. But you can catch up.

Digital fundraising has never mattered more. Sector reports are clear: digital is one of the biggest growth opportunities for charities right now. But there’s a gap between what leaders know they need to do, and what their teams actually feel equipped to do.

Fundraisers are telling us they’re overwhelmed, under-resourced, and lacking confidence in digital skills. You tell your confidence with email journeys, paid ads, tracking pixels, and social strategy is low while being expected to deliver results across every channel imaginable.

This half-day conference is built to help you succeed – not add more to your plate.

What to expect

Four hours of practical, no-nonsense sessions covering the digital skills and strategies your team actually needs in 2026. No fluff. No theory for theory’s sake. Just real-world expertise you can act on straight away.

Across the afternoon, you’ll get into:

  • How to apply the new ICO guidance on soft opt-in
  • Which social channels are really worth your time and budget
  • How to build Meta Ad campaigns that convert
  • What a solid digital fundraising strategy actually looks like (and how to write the budget to go with it)
  • How to design supporter journeys that work across channels
  • Email sequences that make supporters fall in love with your cause
  • Why digital donors drop off and how to fix your retention
  • The tools saving digital fundraisers hours every week
  • WhatsApp vs SMS, managing social comments, video strategy, AI in practice, accessibility, consent changes and more

Who is this for?

This conference is for fundraisers and digital teams who know digital matters but don’t always have the time, confidence, or resource to keep up. It’s also for senior leaders who want to better understand what their teams need to succeed in a rapidly shifting landscape.

Whether you’re building your digital skills from the ground up or sharpening what’s already working, there’s a session here for you.

Why it matters

The organisations that will thrive in 2026 are the ones investing in their people’s capability now. Digital investment isn’t just about tools and budgets. It’s about skills, confidence, and having a clear plan.

This is your afternoon to get all three.

Busy July 9th? (or can’t get around to watching all your top sessions on the day) – you’ll have on-demand, digital access until the end of August to catch up.

Register today and be part of the digital revolution that puts the power – and supporter relationship – back into your hands.

Sessions

Room 1

Digital Benchmarking report: what you need to know
Speaker: Sarah Crowhurst, Hynt

As charities explore new digital channels, time and again they’re faced with gaps in benchmarks, insights, and a clear strategic and creative path forward. This year’s CAF report has shown some strong signals for digital, but other digital benchmarking tools are too big, too cumbersome, or they’re taking a gap year. That’s why Hynt has surveyed the UK charity sector to map out the state of play in email lead generation and cash acquisition through digital. In this 30-minute session, we’ll go through some key learnings from our ‘UK Charity Digital Lead Generation Map’, lifting out key insights and connecting them to clear strategic and creative actions.

Key Learnings:
– A free set of current digital benchmarks to inform strategic decision-making
– A clear plan for turning insight into action in digital

How to write a digital budget
Speaker: Joshua Leigh, Hynt

Can’t tell your CPL from your CPM? Don’t know where to start with media spend and ROAS? Stop staring at that blank spreadsheet! Join us for a high-speed, jargon-busting session designed to turn your digital fundraising “guesstimates” into a concrete budget for you to take to your team. In just 30 minutes, we’ll work through Hynt’s Digital Budget Template to prepare a top-line, simplified budget to help you get started, or get better at digital fundraising.

Key Learnings:
– Understand digital fundraising metrics and how they relate to one another
– Learn how to strategically divide media spend between donor acquisition, lead generation and brand awareness
– Explore the balance between digital acquisition and high-yield retention

Room 2

Pixels, Postbacks and Pizazz
Speaker: Eoghan Beecher, iRaiser

Tracking and analytics to raise more money! In this session, iRaiser will explore the concept of attribution from a critical perspective and advise charities on how they can increase digital visibility for themselves as fundraisers, and increase board buy-in for future investments in areas that produce results.

Key Learnings:
– How to create an attribution policy
– How to deploy tracking
– How to use data to increase fundraising activity
– How to convince your board to invest more money in your fundraising

Room 3

Rethinking Supporter Growth in a Changing Consent Landscape
Speaker: Rhiannon Sullivan, Care2

The introduction of the charitable soft opt-in marks a fundamental shift — moving organisations away from a model focused purely on reach, and toward one centred on relationship, relevance, and long-term value.

In this session, Care2 will explore what this means in practice. We’ll share new insights from across our community, alongside recent UK and US case studies, highlighting how leading organisations are already adapting — and where the biggest opportunities lie.

We’ll unpack:

How to identify and engage supporters already aligned with your cause
What high-performing campaigns are doing differently in this new environment
How platform choice and data capture models will increasingly shape long-term growth

This isn’t about short-term gains — it’s about building supporter journeys that convert, deepen, and sustain over time.

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of how to navigate the soft opt-in era — and how to position your organisation for stronger, more resilient growth.
