The COVID-19 pandemic has left many charities scrambling for new ways to raise funds. We explore the virtual future of fundraising
This article is sponsored by Blackbaud Europe - leading providers of cloud software for social good.
In the wake of the global COVID-19 outbreak and subsequent UK-wide lockdown, many charities have had to pivot to new, digital ways of raising funds.
There are a number of different digital fundraising options available to charities. Such a wide range that the whole business of digital fundraising may appear daunting, or even overwhelming to the uninitiated. According to the 2019 Charity Digital Skills Report, 59% of charities surveyed rated their digital fundraising skills as ‘fair to low’. Fortunately, there is guidance available to charities at the beginning of their fundraising journey.
