Prepare yourself for all things transformation as we discuss how charities can harness the power of technology to deliver change, as well as the broader shifts happening in third sector culture. For this episode we're joined by Manifesto's Transformation Director, Lou Lai. Somehow Lou manages to balance this role with being a Board of Trustees member of Blood Cancer UK, and a founder of FemMentored.

Tracey has been working with charities in Canada for over two decades, helping them to understand what they can't do, as well as expanding their visions of what is possible. Previously a broadcaster, Tracey is well versed in the art of effective messaging and she brings all of that experience to our podcast. We were lucky to have her on and know that if you're planning your latest campaign, you need to hear this.

This latest podcast is a deeper dive into our key learnings on virtual events, with advice from the front line!

2020 has now seen us support over 100 virtual events and over 700 online campaigns, raising close to $50m USD. Throughout the year we’ve been learning and adapting to our new fundraising environment, and along with our clients, have taken some valuable lessons on board.

So in this podcast we’ve asked four members from our brilliant Operations team to join us, share best practices and discuss all things virtual in 2020.

Virtual Events are quickly becoming a significant part of the new fundraising environment, and getting the key moments right is crucial when hosting a successful campaign. In this episode, alongside our special guest Layne The Auctionista, we explore the best ways to run a Fund-A-Need or Pledge Drive moment.

Fundraising is fast evolving in our new landscape and as such we explore six different ways to run a virtual gala event, from simple zoom events to studio productions. Drawing on years of experience as a fundraising host and consultant, the brilliant Sherry Trulhar (Red Apple Auctions) joins as our special guest to help review each option and discuss pros and cons.

Two very special guests, Beth Archer, Executive Director at Agriinstitute and Jessica Helyar, Event Director and owner Conker Events, will be revealing how to successfully execute an online fundraising campaign. They have transformed traditional fundraising techniques from their psychical events to suit our new virtual environment. Join us to ensure you don’t let these years' planned fundraising initiatives go to waste!
