This online Q&A session is free as part of the Digital Heritage Lab and is for anyone working or volunteering for a small to medium sized UK-based heritage organisation.

Who is it for?

This Q&A session is for people working or volunteering in a small to medium sized UK-based heritage organisation.

It is essential that you either took part in at least one of the previous fundraising workshops on the programme or watched recordings on AMAculturehive. Please note recordings of the workshops being held on 28 April and 12 May will be uploaded shortly after the sessions have finished.

What is it about?

This Digital Heritage Lab Q&A session is a follow-up session to online workshops held earlier in the programme on digital fundraising. It is your opportunity to ask questions to our expert speakers about the fundraising needs of your organisation and how to best secure the support you require.

Whether your question is regarding creating online content for fundraising, how to create an effective fundraising strategy, cases for support or how data can help with fundraising, any query you have about digital fundraising is welcome.

It is not compulsory to have a question prepared, but if you do have one in mind already, please submit it when you register for this event.

To ensure your question gets answered, please submit it when you register for this event.

How do I take part?

We will be using an online training platform called WebEx for this event. Before booking, please complete our online training checklist to ensure you get the most out of this training.

Please note: this even will not be recorded to allow for open discussion and networking.
