Stewardship - Retaining and Maintaining Donors

Stewardship is an often overlooked process but is critical to your charity. Stewardship is a mindset, a philosophical commitment to the way you value your donors and supporters – your tool to build and maintain their ‘lifelong’ relationships with your charity. This one day course is a chance for participants to identify who they should be thanking, which relationships to nurture and how best to go about it. Participants leave the course understanding the vital role of stewardship in increasing long term support – and with a lot of ideas, as teams fight it out for the prize awarded for the most creative stewardship idea!

Child Sponsorship: Options if you're thinking of moving away from this model (International Development Charities)

Child sponsorship was one of the most innovative marketing and fundraising models of its time. Established in the 1930s, it has been and still is a staple model for many non-profits fundraising for children and young people. Whilst being a successful way of raising money for some charities, some find it administratively burdensome and are beginning to question the ethics surrounding this style of fundraising.

Join us for this 90-minute webinar where we will discuss the wider context of the child sponsorship model and hear from small NGOs who have successfully transitioned away from the model.
