**The hybrid track of next month’s International Fundraising Congress in the Netherlands
has been announced, and for the first time the sessions will be available at no 
charge.**

The programme for IFC Online, the hybrid lineup for the International Fundraising
Congress (IFC), offers a condensed version of the in-person IFC experience, which
runs for three days, or four for those who attend the masterclasses.

Delegates from around the world will be able to attend selected sessions online 
as they happen live, joining in and interacting with speakers and in-person delegates.

The programme for IFC Online is curated to explore an array of topics through a 
practical lens. In addition to live and on-demand workshops, participants experience
the livestream of both the opening and closing keynotes. These are plenaries, attended
by all the in-person delegates and are often powerful, inspirational presentations.

In addition to the keynotes, online delegates will have access to workshops on legacy
fundraising, donor potential, online influencers, impact investing, e-commerce, 
and more.

If you can’t attend all the sessions live, delegates to IFC Online will be able 
to watch them on-demand through to the end of the congress.

IFC Online has been running since 2020 and this is the first time it has been made
available for free. To date it has cost £150 to access.

**Ruby Chadwick**, Director of Programmes at the Resource Alliance, said of IFC
Online and the decision to make it free of charge:

“Our community spans the four corners of the world. The online sessions have been
chosen to reflect the diverse needs of fundraisers, campaigners, activists, and 
changemakers working in very different global contexts. From achieving breakthrough
success with limited resources to showcasing the potential of impact investment 
for sustainable change, the programme has been shaped to support people no matter
their cause or area of work.

“In response to the growing challenges faced by fundraisers worldwide to continue
their work, we have placed a renewed focus on equity and accessibility.

“It is thanks to the support of our event partners Fundraise Up and Salesforce that
we have been able to cover our costs and make access to IFC Online completely free
of charge this year. Purpose-driven corporate charity partnerships like these are
vital for the future of our sector and we look forward to the continuation of our
work together.”
