The Excellent Supporter Experience Hackathon

Wednesday 19 Feb 2025 - 8:30 am to 2:00 pm

“The more important the promise, the more important the experience” – this quote very accurately sums up why we do what we do.

The promises charities make to their supporters, to cure cancer, protect the environment, stop child abuse, prevent cruelty to animals (there are too many to list). These are the most important promises of all.

And so the experiences your supporters get are also the most important.

And we know that from our research, that a one point increase in loyalty (the measure of a great supporter experience) over three years leads directly to a 20% increase in income and a 9% increase in intention to leave a gift in a will.

There is a direct and measurable link between improving the experience and growing income.

Each delegate at The Excellent Supporter Experience Hackathon will leave with a clear set of simple actions for improving their supporters’ experience.

The Hackathon is a fun, interactive, immersive, engaging and educational experience that will provide inspiration, connections and real actions to improve the supporter experience.

  • The Masterclass will be structured as follows:
  • Welcome, and introductions
  • Identifying supporter experience challenges
  • What makes a good supporter experience?
  • Team formation and challenge selection
  • Break
  • From ideas into solutions and actions
  • Team presentations
  • Voting and selecting the winning idea
  • Break
  • Actions to take away and final summary
