The workshop will help you build a measurable legacy campaign that uses 6 building blocks to help you create campaigns that show results

1. Build your purpose looks at revisiting your core mission, finding your personal and organisations purpose, defining your goals and finding the legacy proposition around which you can reach out
2. Define your approach looks at the priorities you need to focus on, introduces the style and approach of a conversation led legacy approach, revisits barriers and the basics, looks at motivations and distils the approach that drives legacy fundraising
3. Create your culture looks at how to build the right environment for legacies to thrive, how to use national campaigns to inspire and engage, how to create legacy leadership from the board down
4. Inspire your people sets out how to build passion, inspiration and connection with stories from supporters, staff and beneficiaries and how to find, collect and share
5. Engage and measure defines the key outcomes that drive results, what to measure and how to define future value from todays activity
6. Nurture and convert is the final building block that shows how to build relationships, nurture and deepen support to deliver legacy gifts now and in the future

This 6 step model was shaped through 30 years of fundraising experience, creating and delivering transforming strategy at UK and Global charities and working in national behaviour change campaigns to make legacy giving a social norm. 6 steps distills a method that inspires, engages and starts a conversation and builds a strategy and campaigns that shows impact now and in the future.

A personal message from Stephen

“Last September, across Australia, I met Legacy Fundraisers and Fundraising Heads and Directors, who shared a real passion for legacies. In the sessions I took, I set out an approach that focused on conversations and behaviour change, using examples from campaigns around the world.

This May, I wanted to give an opportunity for charities and fundraisers to go deeper, focus on creating and delivering specific campaigns in a very practical workshop using tools and techniques I have learnt, developed and found through my travels and experience. I wanted to give some space to help coach great fundraisers to truly find and focus on their legacy aspiration and to help face down some of the challenges they face.

I hope you can join me and colleagues from other organisations to be able to build inspiring legacy campaigns that will cut through.

Please join me for this rare and unique experience together in Melbourne and Sydney”
