Institutions are from Mars, donors are from Venus - how the motivations behind the an Annual Fund can be a point of conflict between internal amibitions and long-term fundraising success
Speaker: John Rux-Burton, Managing Director - Rux-Burton Associates Ltd.
Session Description:
Institutions often have big ambitions.  They look at a large constituency of potential donors, do some maths assuming a modest gift from everyone, add some and the new land-mark building is only weeks away.  But running an Annual Fund is about creating the bed-rock of support, the acquisation and maturation donors that will fuel major gift and legacy programmes in the year's ahead.  Taking the theme that Annual Funds are really external relation tools, this session examines your consistuencies, what you should be saying to them through the design of the fund and, beyond that, what you should be saying on all your external relations matters during telephone programmes and email approaches.

Charities & the Data Protection Act DPA
Speaker: Rosemary Smith, Chairman - Direct Marketing Association’s Governance Committee
Session Description:
Professional fundraisers operate in a complex legislative environment with numerous controls on the way they are permitted to interact with donors and prospective donors. The Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) and the more recent Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR) apply to most professional fundraisers. The broad guidelines of these instruments  must be adhered to in all situations where personal data is being collected and processed but they contain a smaller number of charity specific rules.Whereas minimum compliance might be acceptable in a purely commercial environment, fundraisers may find that their audience is much more demanding requiring a significantly higher level of transparency about processing. This session is designed to guide you through the all aspects of Data Protection compliance.
