THE #1 CONFERENCE DEDICATED TO HELPING NONPROFITS FUNDRAISE ON SOCIAL PLATFORMS

The Social Fundraising Summit is coming to the Clontarf Castle Hotel (yep, it’s a castle!) Dublin, Ireland on Wednesday 23rd and Thursday 24th March 2022.

With so much going on in the world of social fundraising – from virtual events run entirely on Facebook to fundraising innovation on Instagram and TikTok – it can be hard to keep up. This is where the Social Fundraising Summit comes in.

At our inaugural event in March 2021, we welcomed over 500 attendees. 97% of attendees said the event achieved or exceeded their expectations! If you missed it, catch some of the highlights on our YouTube channel and find out what all the fuss was about!

The Social Fundraising Summit is predominantly aimed at Senior Managers and Practitioners in digital, events and community fundraising teams. 

However, the summit is not just for social fundraising specialists – it is for anyone and everyone from nonprofits and charities who are looking to embrace the changes and challenges of this new frontier.

The Social Fundraising Summit will deliver two jam-packed, insightful and inspirational days of learning, collaboration and networking. Check out our event agenda in full.

Knowing nonprofits as we do, we understand that one key factor will be budgets. While we have done our best to make the cost accessible for small charities, we also don’t want to skimp on our ambitions for this event.

For a limited time only, we are offering discounted Team Bundles! Get 2 tickets for only £750 (£375 each), or 3 tickets for only £999 (£333 each)!

The following general admission tickets are also available:

• £499 (exc. VAT) – small charities with less than £1million annual turnover
• £499 (exc. VAT) – GivePanel customers
• £599 (exc. VAT) – non-GivePanel customers

Via Eventbrite you are able to purchase your ticket by credit/debit card or PayPal.

We are also offering payment by invoice and this will be emailed to you separate to your order confirmation email, by the GivePanel team. Look out for an email from messaging-service@post.xero.com for your invoice. Payment terms are 7 days after the invoice issue date.

If you are a UK-based charity or organisation, your ticket price will be subject to VAT. If you are an Ireland-based charity or organisation, you do not need to pay VAT for your ticket.

To remove the VAT from the Eventbrite Checkout, you need to select ‘A Business’ as your registration type, and then enter a valid Irish Tax ID.

If you would like to purchase a number of tickets for your nonprofit, but aren’t sure which staff members will attend (or you are worried about illness etc.) you can confirm and/or change staff attendee details nearer the time (at no additional charge, of course).

Clontarf Castle Hotel has ample free car parking for up to 180 cars, including disabled spaces and access should you require it.

This year, we are focusing on making the Social Fundraising Summit an amazing, in-person event that allows us to escape from our screens, get out of the office, meet new people and create deeper relationships. 

We know not everyone will be able to make it (especially this year!), so we're looking at putting together an online package of resources to be available after the event. 

Our fantastic speakers have produced recordings of all of their main sessions, which we have hosted on our YouTube playlist. Check them out!
