Delve into digital fundraising

In-person | Workshop

Are you ready to go digital?

Join us in person in London to delve into digital fundraising!

In recent years, we have witnessed a remarkable surge in the use and significance of digital fundraising, most of which can be attributed to the pandemic which saw charities having to drastically adapt their fundraising strategies if they were going to survive.

With many organisations turning away from their old fundraising methods it appears going digital could be the future.

However, the explosion in digital tools and the volume and variety of platforms out there can be overwhelming to organisations trying to break into this space.

Working out which platform is right for you can be a drain on the already limited time and resources of rare disease patient groups which is why Beacon is delivering this comprehensive training so that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel!

Is this workshop for me?

If you’re a rare disease patient group looking to integrate more digital activity into your existing fundraising strategy, take advantage of the latest digital trends, or are just starting out with digital fundraising this workshop is for you!

What to expect from the workshop?

This workshop will give patient groups the knowledge and insight to successfully deliver digital fundraising.

It will help attendees to understand the benefits of different platforms and work out where to focus their efforts to get the best outcomes.

The full-day workshop will be delivered alongside an expert fundraising trainer!
