Agenda

  • St Martin-in-the-Fields & Donorfy: The Donorfy Data Journey

    Dale Harrison - CRM Manager, St Martin-in-the-Fields Charity

    Graham Dunn - Customer Success Team Lead, Access Donorfy

    Data Management with Access Donorfy   Campaign Success  Charity Presentation

    Donorfy is here to simplify your data management. From reviewing income streams across different channels, to analysing supporter engagement, to capturing key information from your donors. Having a CRM that can relieve your workload and support your impact is hugely beneficial, but sometimes the hardest part is knowing where to start.
     
    Join Dale and Graham as they break down the Donorfy Data Journey, using St Martin-in-the-Fields BBC Radio 4 Christmas Appeal (which turns 100 in 2026!) as an example of how to manage your data in Donorfy. See how combining features like Tags, Forms and Dashboards enables automation. And understand the wider context of where Donorfy sits as part of a successful campaign, from start to finish.
