I'm tuning in to A History of Fundraising with @SOFIIisHOT and @RogareFTT on @FundEverywhere - a great panel (including @meenamtj @Rhodri_H_Davies @Markyphillips)! My notes will be in this thread.

@Rhodri_H_Davies: Continuity is reassuring. We are all standing on the shoulders of giants. Good to know smart people before us have tackled similar issues. Can inform our thinking today. Inspiring historical examples show fundraising done well.

I'm at Fundraising on the Margins, organised by @SWFundraisers - and my notes will appear in this thread. Great speaker line up.
#FundraisingOnTheMargins First up in plenary at #FundraisingOnTheMargins is @LucyInnovation on the importance of storytelling:
* We remember stories
* Stories help us to understand complex things
* Stories can grab attention and cut through everyday noise
* Stories create connection, empathy, emotion

So excited to attend #IWITOT10 online this afternoon that my head is sideways. One of my fave events when fundraisers talk about other charities' work they wish they'd thought of. My notes will be in this thread. See you there, kind of? Online tickets still available. https://t.co/7HvEUEzVST

What do we mean by strategy?
You have a vision
Start with your diagnosis
Make a clear plan

Why... what... how.

Sarah Fitzgerald O'Connor, Open Start with evidence and insight
Look internally and externally
What are you trying to change?
Cluster what's emerging as strategic objectives

"Hello awesome humans! I've got IG in my blood." Lovely to see @WayneTheMurray & @fiona_pattison hosting the @FundEverywhere #IGSummit - IG stands for Individual Giving. It's a great line-up. My notes will be below. Join me (presentations up for 30 days): everywhereplus.com/igsummit2021/?…


"How can we harness the power & energy of the feminist movement? How do we create new models to attract the public at scale? More reach, action, money, impact... to drive meaningful engagement."

@LouiseFirthLDN & @pauldegregorio on @RefugeCharity's Digital Revolution.

#IGSummit

Excited to attend #ifconline organised by @TheResAlliance - and will post my notes from the event as tweets in this thread. It's a great line-up!

"Transmission is key. We cannot treat our way out of these epidemics..."
On the main stage, it's "Future Gazing: From HIV AIDS, TB to COVID and beyond" - @LindaGailBekker on what we can learn from previous epidemics and how we can apply it to our present and future.
#ifconline

"Super excited for two-point-oh!"

I'm in position for #BAMEOnline hosted by the magnificent @MarthaAwojobi & @Camalamalamz. Will pop my notes in this thread. Last year's conference was superb, and this promises to be just as good. Watch it (back) here:

"I hope everybody knows that we're not BAME people. It's lazy & reductive."
@MarthaAwojobi & @Camalamalamz address "the elephant in the room".

Today's values : anti-racism, bravery, creativity & joy. Solutions to racism need to be just as creative as racism itself.

#BAMEOnline

Here's Joe Burnett and @Megan640 introducing this year's #IWITOT the excellent event at which fundraisers talk about fundraising campaigns they wish they'd thought of. I'll live tweet here in this thread, hopefully!

1st up #IWITOT is @daniglez on Top Manta, a clothing line created by an association of African street vendors in Barcelona.

"It's not just about doing it, it's about doing it right"

"Not just solidarity but a really cool brand."

Tying together awareness, fundraising & impact.

I'm back at the @CIOFSupporterXP #SupporterExperience conference for a session on designing digital donor experiences, with Athar Abibi @TheBHF, @RobAlcroft Nana Crawford @BritishRedCross, Gavin McDonald, Vicky Urquhart @MindCharity.
(thread) "We're in there all the time. It's a lovely place to be. It's a highlight of everyone's workday, to go in & drop GIFs"

Athar talks about @TheBHF moving their Dechox campaign to Facebook groups. There's been much more engagement as a result.

@CIOFSupporterXP #SupporterExperience

Always good to start a session by talking about the weather - it's certainly a good metaphor for how quickly things are changing right now!

I'm at the @CIOFtweets @CIOFSupporterXP conference for the keynote panel: The role of #SupporterExperience on the road to recovery
(thread) @CIOFtweets @CIOFSupporterXP @andywatts27 @Ciara_Tamar @MehreenSyed11 What have we learned about supporters?

"We learned that we already knew quite a lot about our supporters. They're incredibly engaged already. We were open and hones, talked about how the pandemic affected us. We sent personalised comms on how they could help."

@CIOFSupporterXP

Hi I'm Nikki, and I'm a massive loser"
I'm here at #PizzaForLosers a new event hosted by @CharityNikki sharing and learning from our charity sector failures. Also here for the pizza, of course.
(Thread) "We are conditioned to talk about our success by social media and on the make believe world of our CVs. We don't talk about our gaps in employment, our failures or our mental health. It's not healthy."

First up at #PizzaForLosers is @henryrowling of @weareflyingcars.
