Positive Lessons Learned from Covid 19

Chartered Institute of Fundraising Northern Ireland
This workshop kindly funded by the National Lottery Community Fund - Awards for All programme will be delivered by Sarah Goddard.
When the pandemic hit, everyone panicked that community fundraising was 'cancelled'. How could communities fundraise if there was no community to fundraise from? But that wasn't the case. In fact for some charities, community income increased. Because "when there is a need, the community will come together to meet that need"
So how do we make sure the community fundraising at our charity is resilient, and our supporters are inspired to keep supporting us? In this 90 min webinar, we'll look at micro actions - not long-term commitments, maximising the opportunities that you can't plan for and the importance of back to basics stewardship done well not perfect.
