Giveclarity have another great year at the IFC 2024!
News
In October, we were delighted to sponsor the International Fundraising Congress (IFC) for the 2nd consecutive year as the event’s wellbeing programme sponsor.
The International Fundraising Congress, held annually the past 42 years in Noordwijk in the Netherlands, is best-known as the home of fundraisers, campaigners, and changemakers. The event is four days of rich, innovation-led learning and sharing, organised by Resource Alliance and brilliantly curated by the independent IFC Advisory Panel, a group of leading fundraisers from across the globe.
IFC is a great event opportunity to connect with more than 1,200 fundraisers and social impact leaders from over 70 countries. This event is not just about networking; it offers a wealth of opportunities for learning, collaboration, and inspiration.
Participants can attend various workshops, seminars, and keynote sessions led by industry experts, which can help them gain new insights and strategies to enhance their fundraising efforts and social impact initiatives. One example of this was our Innovation Hub session on creative data capture for more personalized and engaging charity marketing campaigns.
During the session, Jeremy Garcia, our Director of Marketing Solutions, and Petter Hagg from MSF Sweden (Läkare Utan Gränser) showcased real-life examples in the workshop. They demonstrated how charities are innovatively asking supporters for their most precious resource: their personal data.
As the event’s Wellness sponsor, we ensured that delegates had plenty of opportunities to unwind and recharge. From invigorating yoga and Zumba sessions to soothing meditation walks, sound baths and neck and shoulder massages, there was something for everyone. We believe that staying focused at such a bustling event is only possible when you give your mind the chance to relax and recharge.
In the midst of the dynamic and often overwhelming environment, it’s crucial to take intentional breaks for mental and physical rejuvenation. Our wellness activities provided the perfect balance, helping attendees stay energized and engaged throughout the event.
IFC 2024 was not just about learning and networking; it was about creating a holistic experience that nurtures both the mind and body. We’re proud to have contributed to such an inspiring and impactful event, and we can’t wait to see what next year brings!
One of the highlights of our time at the IFC was the invaluable collaboration with our colleagues at Salesforce, including Pierre-Marie Boutet and Andrea Goezinne, Pim van de Donk, Alexander Saltiel, Eva Heffernan and many others. These interactions are opportunities to strengthen our partnerships, share valuable insights, and celebrate our mutual successes.
Whether we’re discussing the latest innovations, exchanging best practices, or simply enjoying each other’s company, IFC Contributions to building a stronger, more connected community. It’s these relationships that make our collaboration so rewarding and impactful.
