The Atheist Bus Campaign, an appeal by the British Humanist Association to fund posters on the side of London buses, has broken the record on online giving site Justgiving for the most amount of money
Thank you to everyone who responded quickly via Twitter and the UK Fundraising group on Facebook with ideas, thoughts and experiences of the impact of the credit crunch on fundraising.
A recent joint study by researchers at Oxford and Kent universities has found that men are likely to give more money if they are asked while they are in the company of women they find sexually attractive. In fact, they were between 25 per cent and 100 per cent more generous when they were in the presence of women they wouldn’t have minded getting off with.
Congratulations to Alan Clayton of Cascaid who managed to get a 100% positive rating in the feedback from delegates for his closing plenary at the Institute of Fundraising's
If the essential logic of fundraising is hearts, minds, giving - then the emotional logic of legacies is surely family first, charity second, made possible with a small percentage of whats left.
I must admit to enjoying reading facts and figures about the voluntary sector - how big it is, how many people it involves, what it achieves, and so on.
