Challenge conventional narratives and discover scalable, high-impact fundraising strategies.
In the rapidly evolving philanthropic landscape, traditional fundraising methods don’t always cut it anymore. Which is why People In Need transformed their approach over 15 years, building a robust donor base of 250,000 supporters and achieving an extraordinary €40M annual revenue with a 1:30 return on investment (ROI). Starting in a post-communist country with little philanthropy culture, the organisation had to innovate, test, and refine its strategies, resulting in the creation of one of the most effective fundraising models in the nonprofit sector.
Through real-world case studies, practical exercises, and a Q & A, you will explore innovative strategies including data-driven donor segmentation, multi-channel engagement, and smart investment decisions. You’ll find out how challenging conventional narratives and embracing fresh approaches can lead to unprecedented fundraising success, especially in emerging markets.
The session will also look at the relational side of high-impact fundraising—the human connection behind the numbers. While analytics and ROI are crucial, long-term success also depends on how we engage, inspire, and care for our donors after their gift. You will learn how stewardship and donor relationship-building as essential drivers of retention and increased value an explore how to design meaningful donor journeys and create engagement strategies that strengthen loyalty across donor segments.
