The rise of the middle why we need to look again at mid-level donors

We are seeing a rise in the volume and retention of mid-level donors within fundraising programmes. This is leading to more organisations considering how best to engage with them long-term. The looming recession means this group will be even more important than ever. Let's discuss how to reach them within Individual Giving programmes and increase average donation values as a result.

Individual Giving For Faith-Based Charities

It's well documented that Muslim givers are one of the most generous around, but what is it that motivates them to give?

The episode promises to be insightful and entertaining for all!

Key subjects covered:

1. What is Zakat and different types of Muslim giving

Behavioural Science Everywhere!

In a data-driven society, we know that data is important to make good decisions. But as we all know that can be easier said than done, particularly in charities. In this session, we discuss the foes of data: the seven deadly sins of data practices that actually short-circuit our decision processes. Next, we discuss the foundations of good strategy and how many times we conflate other ideas with strategy. Finally, we talk about the features of good strategy. At the end, you'll be able to answer the question: does your data help you focus so that you can make the best decision possible and do the next right thing.
