Keynote 2 – Do we owe our fundraisers more than just a wage?

Sasha Buonasorte

Spoiler alert: YES.

Being a F2F fundraiser is one of the most rewarding jobs out there, but that feeling is hard-earned – a difficult day F2F fundraising can stick with you forever. So, what support is out there to protect these fundraisers? Turns out, it’s often less than most people are entitled to.

I have been on a quest for the last few years, trying to make the role of ‘F2F fundraiser working on behalf of Shelter’ the greatest job in the world. And now, I want you to join me. If we work together, we can catapult this industry into the future and make it the best it’s ever been.

This session won’t ask you to do the impossible, but it will ask you a vital question: what do we owe our F2F fundraisers? And how can we make it happen?

In this session, Joyce Browaeys – fundraising strategist and ex-fundraising head for Greenpeace Belgium – will critically examining their effectiveness of each fundraising channel acquisition, helping you to determine what place F2F has in your organisation.

Let’s visualise together how your organisation can bring together all your channels. After all, effective organisations evaluate their fundraising and communications channels as a whole — and acknowledge that some channels make others stronger.

Don’t miss this insightful session and the opportunity to gain a more complete, clear, and thoughtful picture of the role F2F should play your overall fundraising programme.

Workshop 1C – How to make F2F fundraising your key branding activity and amplify all your other fundraising activities

Karl Rohde

Karl Magnus Rohde-NaessNorwegian Air Ambulance Foundation (Norway)

How can we build a huge, public fundraising activity without damaging our brand? Is it really possible? Can I convince my board that F2F activities may actually contribute to an increase in brand value as well as support other fundraising channels?

In this session, I will take you through the story of how Norwegian Air Ambulance built a successful F2F fundraising programme based on the idea that it could make a significant positive contribution to our brand.

I will share results of a survey that demonstrates the impact F2F activity had on our brand-value compared to all our other fundraising activities. Lastly, I will share my thoughts on how this increased brand-value affects the rest of our fundraising channels.

F2F fundraising has a long history of on-the-job training. As we see a high fluctuation among fundraisers, can specific F2F Fundraising trainings contribute to a higher retention rate of fundraisers? In this panel we discuss existing best practices and what can be done to increase the retention rates and contribute to the learning experience of fundraisers.
