‘[Project Everyone: The Global Virtual Summit Supporting Charities Through COVID-19](https://fundraisingeverywhere.com/covid19/)’
has been developed by [Fundraising Everywhere](https://fundraisingeverywhere.com/)
in partnership with [Salesforce](https://www.salesforce.org/), and will see sector
experts, trainers and conference providers join together to deliver a virtual half-
day conference to support fundraisers and their organisations through the virus 
outbreak.

 

 

 

It will be live streamed on 2 April between 12pm – 6pm BST / 7am – 1pm ES, with 
two virtual conference tracks on charity and fundraising response, plus an additional
resource library to support skills and well-being. Other charity conferences are
also supporting the project by providing individual content, and the summit is free
for everyone as well as available globally with [registration here](http://fundraisingeverywhere.com/covid19).

 

 

 

Sessions are 45 minutes long including live Q&A with the speaker. The two tracks
will run consecutively on Fundraising Everywhere’s website, fundraisingeverywhere.
com, with attendees free to interact and choose from throughout.

 

 

 

The conference will be hosted by Fundraising Everywhere co-founders, Nikki Bell 
and Simon Scriver.

 

 

 

Attendees can choose between the twelve live sessions on offer and will have access
to all recorded content afterwards, plus a bonus video resource library, for as 
long as the pandemic impacts the sector. Other charity sector conferences such as
Resource Alliance, Institute of Fundraising, and CharityDigital are supporting the
project by using their speaker and charity connections to provide individual content.

 

 

 

The live stream will be subtitled in English for live viewers and available in other
languages post-event.
