Crowdfunder planning for success

In December 2021, People’s History Museum were faced with the organisation forecasting a dramatic and overnight loss of venue hire bookings, cafe and shop sales, and visitor donations as a result of Covid-19 Restrictions. Despite having never leading a crowdfunder before, Sarah seized the opportunity to join the #SupportOurMuseums campaign, interested in how this technique could generate new leads for the museum’s donor acquisition pipeline. In this session, Sarah will share her top tips for success in planning and sustaining a successful crowdfunding campaign.
