Looking for ideas to help boost your charity's Individual Giving programme? Here are my favourite articles/blog posts/books/podcasts on the topic 📚 : Blog post: “How sharing can inspire donations for free”, Fundraising UK Ltd – a fascinating insight into the value of each social media share by your supporters. Ultimately, how to grow a network of donors without a big ad budget. https://lnkd.in/eBbFzMcv Article: “Why charities should focus on donor loyalty”, Charity Digital. This contains case studies on charities that have made improvements to their donor journey, and an explanation of why small changes can bring about big increases in income. https://lnkd.in/enkNJbMy Bright Spot podcast with Rob Woods episode 76: "Thanking – how to go the extra mile" with Laura Croudace, and episode 75 – "How to test, prototype and implement new fundraising ideas" with Craig Linton. I was really inspired by the idea of testing, testing, testing, because it allows us to try out different ideas before committing. "The Power of Moments" book by Chip and Dan Heath – incredible insight into how to add a little sparkle to our donors’ experience of giving. I hope you find them useful too! Feel free to share your favourites. #charity #fundraisingideas #individualgiving
