Managing and resourcing your IT function and cake
Wednesday 17th May 2023 at 14:00 GMT
Royal College of Nursing , 20 Cavendish Square , London , W1G 0RN
£0.00 45
Third sector organisations that struggle with their technology can focus too much on the technology and not enough on the people. This Adapta event will focus entirely on the options organisations have to source and sustain the specialist technology and data capabilities they will need to fully utilise and benefit from their investment in technology and systems. Helping you to answer questions such as “What skills and capabilities will we need from our IT/digital/data teams in the future?” and “Should we outsource or build an in-house team – or a combination of that?”, Adapta will tackle this issue starting from the essential capabilities that all organisations need and then building on this as your organisational size and technology/digital ambition grows.

Adapta Webinar - Digital fundraising in the modern non-profit: Technology
Thursday 27th April 2023 at 14:00 GMT
Virtual Zoom event - 14.00-15.15 ,
£0.00 25
Implementing a digital fundraising strategy requires a number of things; a strong digital culture, an understanding of the needs of your audiences. They are good places to start. However, sooner or later your attention will need to be drawn to the technology. What digital fundraising platforms will work best for your organisation? How do you make sure you have a presence in those online and social channels where your supporters or fundraisers are already active? How do you make sure your in-house CRM and digital marketing platforms can connect in this multi-channel fundraising world? Join Adapta's Keith Collins and Bertie Bosredon at our interactive webinar session exploring these questions in more detail with your peers in this online learning and Q&A session.

GDPR… it seems almost like a distant memory now. All that work we all did in the run-up to May 2018, reviewing policies, procedures, working practices and even IT systems… and yet here we are, 5 years on already! But did any of it ‘stick’? Was all that hard work worth it? Does your organisation still live and breathe all of that good practice you worked so hard to put in place back then? This session will explore questions such as these, with a view to helping you stay in control of your data.

Digitalising finance and cake
Wednesday 8th February 2023 at 14:00 GMT
Royal College of Nursing , 20 Cavendish Square , London , W1G 0RN
£0.00 45
By applying modern finance methods to fundraising activities, organisations are saving themselves time while also becoming more agile and improving engagement. In turn, this is helping them to improve the loyalty and retention of their supporters. This session asks the question, “How can you digitalise finance functions and processes throughout your organisation?” In answering this question, we look at the cadence of modern finance processes, what that means for marketing and fundraising teams, how they can be better supported through effective use of data, and generally better empowered to do what they do best. We’ll hear from leading organisations about where they’ve been successful, where they’ve struggled and how they overcame some of the challenges they faced in making the change.
