51. Using online events to inspire high value giving, with Julide Troedson

As other income streams have been hit, high value fundraising has become more important than ever for many charities. But amidst all the challenges of the pandemic, how do you deepen relationships and inspire people to donate? One charity that has tried a range of tactics in high value fundraising this year, with great success, is St John’s Ambulance. In this episode, I share an interview with Julide Troedson, who heads up the team that looks after philanthropy, partnerships and special events. Our conversation includes Julide’s to story-telling, stewardship and conversations with supporters. And we explore how the charity created an unusually successful on-line fundraising event that inspired generous donations as well as stronger relationships.
