Giving Ireland Subsector Webinars 2021

Our Giving Ireland 2021 series has just concluded. The Giving Ireland report shares funding insights on the nonprofit sector. At a deeper subsector level, it further breakdowns and highlights other opportunities especially when compared to other subsectors. 

Over the month of November, Giving Ireland hosted 9 deep dive webinars on funding of each in the various nonprofit subsectors.  

Our speakers discussed many of the funding issues concerning their particular subsector today including fundraising in difficult times, governance, state supports and how to develop and maintain relationships with donors. How to resonate with Major Gifts donors and how to diversify income were also discussed.

Thanks to our Guest Speakers who brought their valuable insights and learnings to the subsector webinars. Sharing these experiences enriches the knowledge base and develops a culture of sharing and openness within the sector. Learnings from our UK counterparts can also aid Irish based organisations’ activities when it comes to fundraising initiatives.
