On October the 26th and 27th, 2020 Social Mellon had the pleasure to deliver a webinar for Digital Fundraising entitled “Digital Fundraising for NGOs: Best Practices in 6 hours”. The training was organized by Social Dynamo -a joint initiative of the Bodossaki Foundation and the City of Athens- and was held online. As fundraising is vital for the existence of nonprofit organizations to fulfil their mission, we presented a variety of digital opportunities, tools and best practices so that they deliver successful digital fundraising campaigns.
More than 45 members of Civil Society organizations in Greece attended the two days training participating actively with interesting questions and creative ideas. The webinar addressed mainly employees and members of Greek NGOs who deal with fundraising and communication matters. The participants had the opportunity to get a better understanding of digital and mobile opportunities in digital fundraising, learn how to develop a successful digital strategy using effectively diverse digital channels and increase their audience. Moreover, the participants had the opportunity to get useful feedback and insights by the instructor, Katerina Dimitrakopoulou, managing director of Social Mellon during the workshop that took place on the second day of the training.
