Lisa and Dee will share a comprehensive overview of the things you need to know about the mechanics of how donors can give and the benefits for donors in giving in different ways. The session seeks to highlight how the joys, highs, lows and complexities of gift management are made so much better through positive relationships between Operations and Philanthropy teams. The session will cover Gift Aid, Share and Asset Giving, giving internationally and giving mechanisms used in European institutions, and Donor Advised Funds to name a few. We’ll also look at how organisations manage philanthropic donations, the difference between expendable and permanent endowments and other accounting terminology. We aim to support you to understand the trends in how donors give, the implications on your fundraising activity and give you the confidence to discuss these practicalities with major donors.
