About the Event: SA - Digital Special Interest Group
 
Join our new special interest group focused on Marketing, Media and Digital.
 
In this session, we will discuss: 

  • In the new COVID-19 reality, how do we keep our fundraisers and followers engaged in our cause?
  • How do we take our physical events online?
  • How do we cut through and reach our audiences, and convert them into fundraisers/supporters during tough economic times?
  • How do we do all of this and still keep our donations coming in?
  • In memoriam donations have dried up, how do we reignite and digitalise?

This session will be a discussion of these key points – please contribute your ideas and thoughts and share examples of what you have been doing so far in terms of donor engagement and event planning.

Please join us to share your thoughts, experiences and knowledge – the aim is to get to know colleagues working in this specialist area of fundraising.

This is a free event, with attendance restricted to FIA Members and Staff of Organisational Members only.
