studies.
Topics to be covered include:
* Research – discovering motivations and supported communication needs for legacies
* Developing the best legacy stories
* Tactics – what does & doesn’t work, the role of the legacy brochure, direct mail, website & supporter newsletter
* How to integrate legacies at no cost
* Talking legacies – how to integrate legacies within community fundraising
The conference will take place at the City Inn, Piccadilly, Manchester and the fee is £70 for Members of the Institute of Fundraising and £95 for non-Members.
