Synopsis:

We spend so much time as fundraisers figuring out how to get in front of people and yet the most efficient way is free and available to everyone: LinkedIn.

In this practical workshop, we will explore:

Why LinkedIn is the ideal platform for fundraisers (spoiler, there are no gatekeepers!)
How to maximise your profile
How to decide on and find who to follow
How to write posts and comments that engage potential donors

Whether you only log on three times a year or lurk daily without ever posting, you’ll get the tools to position yourself as the key connector for donors looking to make a difference in the arts and cultural space.
