You’re burnt out by the post-pandemic push.

So are your donors.

It’s time to REACTIVE YOUR INDIVIDUAL GIVING!

The past couple of years have been pretty tough for fundraisers with a pandemic, war, cost of living crisis, and rising costs making it hard to create a solid plan that we can stick to.

Individual Giving fundraisers feel stressed and overwhelmed by everything they have to do and the ever-changing landscape they need to do it in.

But there is hope.

Despite the predicted doom and gloom for 2022 and 2023, many charities have achieved their fundraising goals thanks to a boost in legacy income and existing donors dug deep to give more; providing an opportunity for fundraisers to take a fresh look at their individual giving programmes to optimise what’s working – and fix what isn’t.

Now the hard work begins.

At the Individual Giving Conference 2024, you will learn:

  • The state of individual giving fundraising in our sector and what you need to prioritise now
  • How to innovate within existing strategies and what good looks like
  • How to retain supporters in an increasingly competitive space that makes one-off giving easier
  • The opportunities that are out there and how to make the most of them

Check out the programme tab to find out more about the speakers and sessions.

And because we know you’re busy, all sessions can be watched live or on-demand in your own time until November 19th (or for an unlimited time if you join as a Member).

All Fundraising Everywhere events are subtitled and held online on the Everywhere+ virtual event platform.
