Community engagement for stronger fundraising

Community and public engagement is part of any organisation’s plan and features in every funding bid or donor pitch. Roisin Calvert-Elliott is working with BTA Knowledge to demystify public and community engagement for charities and third-sector organisations. Covid has changed what engagement looks like so every third sector organisation that wants to succeed needs to check in with what engagement means and how to do it well.

Building meaningful community relationships is essential if you want people to know the importance of the work you’re doing, to access your services, support you, volunteer for you, or just tell other people about the amazing work you are doing! This webinar provides a straightforward overview of what meaningful community engagement can look like. Refreshing you and your team on what it is and what it could be will help develop an effective approach going forward.

Strategies mean nothing if you can’t reach people, so make sure you know how to convince funders, reassure stakeholders and get partners on board in 2022 as the sector navigates new challenges.

Suitable for CEOs, senior leadership and frontline fundraising staff this practical session will give you the chance to hear from a public engagement expert and get clear on your goals and methods.
