Here’s another selection from the wonderful fundraising tips, ideas and resources that get shared on Twitter daily.

1. The cast of Jurassic Park as charity fundraisers

You might have spotted Matt Smith’s amusing series of Twitter threads that imagines TV and film characters as fundraisers. His latest creation looks at the cast of Jurassic Park.

2. Those who give…

3. It takes a village

4. Funding for funding applications?

Charities spend many hours applying for corporate partnerships. Yet it’s usually a winner-take-all result. John Thompson sagely asks if it could be different, with companies offering not insubstantial prizes to those that make the final shortlist.

5. Charity TV

How do TV programmes portray charity volunteers? There’s a research paper on that.
