Online Poll Results Help Shape International Fundraising Congress Sessions

These results show that a startling amount of fundraisers either do not know how to raise money through SMS or social media, or have never used these fundraising channels. Luckily at the IFC there are two sessions which will show fundraisers how to do just this. Nick Allen and Roland Csaki’s workshop – Fundraising on mobile – will give delegates the skills and knowledge they need to make mobile fundraising work for them, highlighting case studies from Central and Eastern Europe and Asia. Those new to fundraising using social media will benefit from Beate Sørum’s workshop which will show delegates how to enhance online relationships with donors, encourage engagement of Facebook fans and bloggers and convert Twitter followers into donors, demonstrating how this untapped fundraising channel can be used by charities around the world.
