Freelancing For Good (FFG)’s Post

Blumers create big impacts for small charities🧡Thank you to Ginny Cullen, CEO of CASBA Advocacy, for sharing her insights on working with our fantastic freelancers. Ginny came to Blume via Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) and was quickly able to find the people she needed to support projects within her charity: "It’s so easy and straightforward. You put out a project, people send costs, and you can get into a productive chat quickly." Ginny recommends Blume to all charity CEOs: "As a CEO, Blume has brought so much to our organisation that I want all CEOs out there to know that if they need support with fundraising, HR, finance, strategy, anything and everything, then Blume has expert, lovely people there to provide it." #freelancer #charitynews #testimonialtuesday #feedback #recommendation #charityceo #ceo #charityimpact #charitynews

You think charities are wasting their money? Think again! Myth #1: Charities spend too much on admin costs. 💡 Fact: Admin costs are essential to running a charity efficiently. It ensures proper management and better outcomes for their causes. Myth #2: Charities can't make a profit. 💡 Fact: Charities can and do make profits, but those profits are reinvested into the charity's purpose to help it grow and continue its work. Myth #3: All staff at charities should be volunteers. 💡 Fact: Skilled staff members are needed to run complex operations. Volunteers are important, but so are paid professionals who keep the charity running smoothly.

Charity managers are keeping lots of balls in the air whilst also considering the needs of many different groups of people 🤹 #Volunteers are one of those groups, and some would say the most important.

Our website hosts a variety of resources to help charities manage their volunteers, from recruitment, selection and induction through to supporting volunteers and measuring their impact. 😇 Find out more about how you can support your volunteers https://ow.ly/78uE50R3cy6 #35YearsOfImpact #CharityManagementMonth

ToFu has been a topic of conversation for us. We wanted to highlight the importance of the starting point for your supporter's journey since without that, whatever you do beyond will not matter. We view it as the foundation for everything that comes afterward. Like in construction, if your foundations aren't there, your house will collapse. As mentioned in our slides, here are three key things to consider: - Focus on eye-grabbing statistics - Demonstrate who you help and the impact you have - Showcase the difference your supporters make The key recommendation we would suggest is to not include a call to action (CTA). To learn more about how we help charities gain new supporters and stand out from the crowd contact us at hello@leadsnavigator.co.uk #marketing #charity #notforprofit #ads #funnel

Here is your yearly reminder to support some of our amazing fundraising colleagues across the sector. Today is the last day of the Big Give #ChristmasChallenge. For 7 days, charities and their fundraisers have worked incredibly hard to raise funds for their causes. Each year, as the campaign draws to a close, my favourite thing to do is to go to the Big Give website, filter the charities by 'match funds remaining' and scroll right to the bottom of the page. Here is where you will find charities who are SO CLOSE to their fundraising goal - they might just need £5 or £10 to hit that target. And so I choose a few and donate. Yes this is great for the charity, but I mainly do it for the fundraisers. I know that behind each target achieved, is a fundraiser who will be ecstatic that they made it in the final hours. They will be overjoyed, relief will flood their system and they will grin like a Cheshire cat. Some may even do a dance around their office/living room. Fundraisers have one of the toughest jobs out there, so it would be great if we could all make as many fundraisers smile as possible - this morning click the link in the comments, find those charities that are so close to hitting their target and press that donate button. #fundraising #BigGive #fundraisers
