A recent AmbITion Scotland audience

AmbITion Scotland’s next event  will be a full day of talks and workshops. It’s now open for registration.

With more than 80% of the UK population now online* and more people every day using the web, either via a PC, tablet or smartphone to shop, access information and access services online, most not for profit cultural organisations understand the importance of taking their first steps in digital fundraising.

But, if budget and human resources are limited, if you haven’t made your first foray into individual giving yet or you feel a bit bewildered by the vast array of digital channels, what’s the best way to get started?  AmbITion Scotland’s next webinar  features two speakers who are leaders in the field of digital fundraising.

• Sarah Gee, of Indigo Ltd., will show how crowdfunding tools can assist in fundraising by engaging audiences, visitors and donors in a completely new way, and announce a new Scottish crowdfunding site designed specifically for the cultural and creative sectors.
• Rachel Beer, of Beautiful World, will will help you to identify and unleash the untapped fundraising potential your organisation already has through its website and marketing activities giving you the tools to integrate fundraising in a way that makes the most of the opportunities you have in your network.

This is a joint AmbITIon Scotland and Arts & Business Scotland event with support from the Glasgow School of Art. It offers arts organisations and artists an unrivalled opportunity to hear how the power of new digital tools can be harnessed by arts organisations and artists to take forward their creative ambition.  In addition to the morning seminar sessions the day includes a networking lunch and small group workshops in the afternoon.

Webinar attendees who are ready to get their hands dirty and try out the new new tools and techniques for themselves can register to stay for the afternoon workshop sessions. These are small-group intensive sessions so please book early to assure your place.

We will be webcasting the morning sessions so if you can’t make it Glasgow you can take part from your desk.  Register here to secure your place.

This AmbITIon Scotland learning event is free to attend.  However, a £25 deposit is requested to hold a space in the small group workshop. A £10 catering charge will be applied for those delegates who would like to attend the networking lunch.  Please be aware that you’ll need to register separately for each part of the day.
