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.
