We all know how important high value legacies are. For most of us, good years are driven by this high value legacy group, and when they come, suddenly everyone is interested. But what if they don't come? What should we be doing now to make sure they come in the future?

When I am older, wiser and being invited to legacy stewardship events myself, I want the pride of knowing that the biggest legacy I left for UNICEF was the work that I am doing now to help grow the top 2 per cent. Good thing I've got at least 20 years before I retire, because there is a lot to do and surprisingly very little understanding in the UK about wealthy individuals and what they are planning for their legacy giving.

In 2022 I commissioned Legacy Voice to undertake some research into high value supporters and legacy giving for UNICEF and am happy to share some of what I have learned.

Come and find out, from a fundraisers perspective, what you need to know about this audience, some of their motivations, a surprising competitor right under your nose, and what you might need to think about at your charity

This podcast episode covers:

• Who and where the donors are
• Motivations for affluent donors
• The next generations of major donors
• The link between wealth and will making

John Lepp is a direct response, marketing and graphic design expert with 25 years of experience working with charities around the world to help them tell better stories and to inspire donors to give, both online and offline.

What do Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper, the Discover IT card, and successful fundraising all have in common? They’re all based on understanding how peoples’ brains work and how they make decisions. Product developers and for-profit marketers have all kinds of insight into what inspires people to buy a product. These scientific approaches have been used by the world’s largest brands…now it’s your turn. You can use these strategies today without a huge marketing budget, extensive testing (and waiting), or guesswork to raise more money or get more volunteers.

Listen to this episode to learn how! Our speaker, Cherian Koshy has taken advanced courses from Duke professor Dan Ariely and Harvard Business School in behavioral science. He has extensive experience understanding how donors think, how they make decisions, and how to use market research and other tools to get donors and volunteers to say “YES!”

In this episode, Cherin shares:

• Marketing principles from the world’s most successful companies (and how to apply them to your fundraising!)
• Strategies you can use to get inside your donors’ minds and understand how to connect with them
• How understanding your donors’ brains will make you a better fundraiser
• Data-backed insights you can apply to your own nonprofi

If you’ve ever wished you could read your donors’ minds, you’ll love this episode! You don’t have to be a neuroscientist to understand how your donors’ brains affect their decision to support your nonprofit—Cherian will show you how you can do it, too.

Join Neon One‘s Tim Sarrantonio for this episode on how you can create a recurring giving program from scratch to design joyful, memorable experiences for donors and scale revenue.

We’ll delve into:

• What a recurring giving program and why every nonprofit should have one
• How to research your audience and use your findings to optimize your program
• What assets and resources you’ll need to launch or reboot a recurring giving program
• What role technology can play in scaling your program

Forget everything you think you know about pirates. Painted as rogues and villains by history (and Disney), they were in fact the social revolutionaries  of the 1700s. They didn't just break all the rules, they rewrote them entirely and pioneered some radically progressive new ideas.

Be More Pirate is a book, philosophy and global network that helps individuals and organisations apply pirate tactics and tools to update outdated rules, norms, practices and processes.

From headteachers to healthcare, this session will offer you practical ideas for change and demonstrate how some of our modern 'pirates' have successfully applied these strategies.

We're trying to solve 21st century problems using 20th century methods and it's not working. So many systems are failing; it time to find the courage and imagination to rewrite the rules. It's time to be more pirate!  

Key learnings from this episode:

• Why rule-breaking serves the greater good
• The pirate code as blueprint for better leadership and culture
• How to explore the edges of your map
• The power of small bold actions

"Those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it”

Fundraising has a history full of innovation and stagnation, inspiration and scandal. But as fundraisers we know relatively little about our own history.

If you ask a fundraiser about what has come before, you might hear answers like “we tried that once in 1983, and it didn’t work” or “we have been doing it since 1983, and it works, so don’t change it.” But if you look more closely, you can find examples of “innovations” that appear to have been introduced in the 80s or 90s that were actually pioneered in the 1880s or 1790s. What other gems lurking in the cupboards of our past have we yet to discover?

In this episode, we’ll take a look at fundraising’s history to explore questions that can help guide our future.

• What can and should we be learning about our own history?
• How does understanding our history help us fundraise better today?
• If we don’t learn, are we doomed to make the mistakes of the past?
• How does fundraising perpetuate the problems of our sector and what can we do to challenge it?

In some ways, we're in a golden age of fundraising. There have never been more ways to capture attention, rally supporters, generate revenue, and measure fundraising performance than there are today. The accessibility of this technology has also never been greater, even to the smallest charities.

But with all the software, tools, apps and intelligence available to us, why has fundraising performance stagnated? Has technology actually gotten in the way of building a personal connection with our supporters?

In the book, Robots Make Bad Fundraisers: How Nonprofits Can Maintain the Heart in the Digital Age, Steven Shattuck explores ways to apply time-tested principles of philanthropy to the modern technology available to fundraisers - with the goal of keeping the donors we already have, inspiring new donors to give, and maintaining the sanity of our team members. Listen now to a chapter reading by Fundraising Everywhere's Simon Scriver.

The fear of rejection, someone saying no, is very real with many, many fundraisers’. So if this is you, you're not alone! But it can stop you building great major donor relationships - picking up the phone to donors, meeting them with confidence - and ultimately raising more.

So how can we use and understand the psychology of giving and this evidence to overcome that fear?

Over the last six years, Bloody Good Period has grown from a Facebook post to a charity working with over 100 organisations around the country, providing vital menstrual supplies to asylum seekers, refugees and anyone who cannot afford them. Establishing a bold, recognisable and unapologetically direct tone of voice has allowed Bloody Good Period to carve out a unique space in the charity sector, and build a loyal following of supporters and ambassadors.
