Trainer: Apollo Fundraising – David Burgess
Suitable for: Anyone in museums who needs to consider fundraising
Don’t look now but there are lots of people who love your museum and what you do. These are the people most likely to donate to your museum…if you can find the right offer for them!
Over the last few years we’ve run a number of sessions on how you can ask people for donations. Now we are considering some of the other ways you can secure support from the people who love you the most.
This session will focus on one of the most overlooked forms of fundraising in museums – legacy giving.
There are many reasons why museums need to be thinking about legacy fundraising right now. One key reason is that the value of legacy giving is increasing. In fact, it’s the fastest growing source of philanthropic income, with that growth predicted to keep going until 2050.
We’ll talk about what it is, how it works, how to know whether it’s right for you and give you tips on how to begin introducing these propositions as part of your wider fundraising work.
On 18 January we are running another complementary fundraising session. It will focus on a range of giving schemes you can offer people in your community. Please book for this separately using the link below:
These same sessions are also being run in-person in Newmarket in November.
- Fundraising Through Legacies – In person (Newmarket) – 15 November
- Ideas for Community Fundraising – In person (Newmarket) – 15 November
