BLOCKERS & ENABLERS
Oversaturation of charitiesDoubting how much gets through
Already give to people in needRole of government funding
Personal connectionShow impact of individual gift
Stories of change/impactFrontline participation
Donation requests intrusiveRising costs, variable income
Set amounts/ongoing contractsComplex giving process

DOUBTING HOW MUCH GETS THROUGH
Need for charities to communicate the amount and impact of donations.
I think a lot of them boil down to how much of my money is being used to do good stuff?
![Page 30: Australian Communities Forum ACF16 2016](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070601/588467cc1a28abbd308b6523/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
SET AMOUNTS/ONGOING CONTRACTS
Need to create flexible options for people to engage with and donate to organisations.
I was ready to give him money. And he would only take a monthly donation. I would have given him $100 but it was the inflexibility.
![Page 31: Australian Communities Forum ACF16 2016](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070601/588467cc1a28abbd308b6523/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
‘ONE-CLICK’ GIVING
Need to develop simple, efficient ways for people to donate to organisations.
It’s easy. If they have links through PayPal I am more likely to donate. So making it easy with two clicks…
![Page 32: Australian Communities Forum ACF16 2016](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070601/588467cc1a28abbd308b6523/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
FRONTLINE PARTICIPATION
Need for organisations to find opportunities for Australians to practically engage and partner with their organisation.
Young people want to raise funds in a way that is not a passive one-way transaction they want to get involved they want to do something; they want it to be based around an activity that excites them.
![Page 33: Australian Communities Forum ACF16 2016](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070601/588467cc1a28abbd308b6523/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
NEXT STEPS FOR CHARIT IES
![Page 34: Australian Communities Forum ACF16 2016](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070601/588467cc1a28abbd308b6523/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Develop levels of engagement that allow people to engage with charitable organisations in an appropriate way to their age and stage of life.
MULTI-TIERED LEVELS OF ENGAGEMENT
Raise awareness about the charity instead of focussing only on monetary supports, offer options to help support the organisation in other ways…
![Page 35: Australian Communities Forum ACF16 2016](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070601/588467cc1a28abbd308b6523/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
COMMUNITY BUILDING
Develop ways for donors to feel a sense of community around their engagement with a charitable organisation.
Look at things like the fun run or colour run, people are getting involved for the community factor.
![Page 36: Australian Communities Forum ACF16 2016](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070601/588467cc1a28abbd308b6523/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION OF RESULTS
Need for charities to communicate the impact of donations.
Perhaps if they could tell you how they spend the money – see you got a bit of bang for your buck, can give you a good feeling, might make you give to the charity on a regular basis.
![Page 37: Australian Communities Forum ACF16 2016](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070601/588467cc1a28abbd308b6523/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
FUN & ENGAGING EXPERIENCES
Develop a fun and meaningful donation experience
Having events so you can link it with an experience. I think that is important. I tend to give more if I can link it with an experience.

We are living in times of increased
polarisation in Australia.
Societal gaps are emerging.

IN AUSTRALIA TODAY
Support is more readily directed to
organisations that:

THE SECTOR AT WORK
Every day, we need to be reminded that this
