THINK

As THINK enters a new chapter in our history, we make the following commitments to you:

As we await today’s Autumn Budget outlining how the government plans to tackle the £22 billion 'black hole' in public finances, many in the charity sector will be preparing for the potential ripple effects on funding. Although no direct cuts to charity funding are expected, we all know that some of the proposed measures - like reforming inheritance tax, and aligning capital gains tax with income tax - could have significant indirect impacts on charitable donations and legacy income. Now, more than ever, it’s essential to build resilient, sustainable income sources that can weather the changing economic landscape. If you’re part of a charity navigating these uncertain times and are keen to review or strengthen your fundraising strategy, get in touch for a chat.  💬

Great last morning at #IFC2024 - brilliant session from Amnesty International Argentina on the development of their video game Escape to Freedom. This is a space more charities need to be in. Then closing plenary - three inspiring women activists from around the globe, three very different stories of fights for equality and for human rights. Homeward bound now with a head full of new ideas. Thank you Willeke van Rijn , Ruby Chadwick and the whole The Resource Alliance team for another magnificent IFC!

As someone who talks a lot about brilliant fundraising basics, I love this comparison! Thank you Filipe Páscoa #IFC2024. THINK

And just like that... three sessions delivered at #IFC2024! A big thank you to everyone who attended - hope you enjoyed and learnt something you can take back to your organisations. And an even bigger thank you to the fabulous Giancarla Pancione for being so generous with sharing the Save the Children Italy story .. both the glories and the challenges. A privilege to be able to share the stage with such a successful fundraising leader. Good luck to all those who attended as you plan your new fundraising activities - would love to hear how it works out, so do keep in touch. THINK

We’re loving Day Two of #IFC2024, next up we’re hearing about the future of regular giving and how data-driven digital solutions are transforming what’s possible. Great to hear from Salvatore Salpietro from Fundraise Up, Emily Casson, Mike Johnston and Dean Gillespie MA (Cantab) MSc (Oxf) FRSA.

My speaking partner in crime Giancarla Pancione at this year’s #IFC2024. One session down, two to go. Great questions and engagement from our first audience - thank you for joining us. THINK

And so it starts #IFC2024. Opening plenary and then hot footing it to present with Giancarla Pancione on Eatsblishing and diversifying fundraising activity. Excited as ever to be spending this time with the global fundraising community. THINK

We’re excited for the start of #IFC2024 with the brilliant Mar Garcia Sanz kicking us off with a powerful and important opening keynote. We are in a state of poly-crisis across the globe. With the economy, environment, and democracy itself at threat. How do we start to turn things around? What are the solutions when the world teeters on the brink?

🎉 It’s a THINK Individual Giving Forum day! 🎉 If you aren’t familiar with our THINK Individual Giving Forums, we’re a community of IG professionals who meet regularly to discuss everything from donor acquisition to cash giving programmes to the latest AI trends shaping the sector. It’s a space to learn, connect, and stay at the forefront of Individual Giving innovation. Key sessions on today's agenda include a deep dive into Mid-value Giving with THINK's own Simon Dickson and a look at sector benchmarks for Christmas Appeals - yes, that time of year is nearly upon us already! Want to join us? Our next intake starts in January, so if you're in the midst of planning for 2025, consider adding us to your budget!
