Direct marketing specialists Whitewater have launched a year-long digital campaign for SolarAid, the lessons from which they will share as they progress.
‘The Glass Workshop‘ is a live experiment in which Whitewater aims “to prove the power of giving donors inspirational feedback on how their donations are being spent”.

“We’re going to give this feedback primarily through the use of video, delivered online. Because that is the medium that gives us the most exciting opportunities to inspire donors, to deliver feedback cost-effectively… and to get our donors sharing their passion for the charity with their friends”.

UK Fundraising plans to provide ongoing coverage of this novel effort to share in public and as they happen the lessons of a fundraising campaign.
