Fundraising experts from the Spektrix team facilitate the workshop, which is available at no cost to any of the organisations we work with that request it.<\/p>\n<p>Given the crucial role donated income plays at Polka, signing her team up for the workshop was an easy decision.<\/p>\n<p>The Polka team entered the workshop with three goals:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Understand how to increase donations by asking with more confidence<\/li>\n<li>Align the goals of their Development and Ticketing teams<\/li>\n<li>Learn new strategies for how to approach the ask<\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"spektrix-testimonial-callout spektrix-testimonial-callout--single wp-block-spektrix-testimonial-callout\">\n\t<div class=\"spektrix-testimonial-callout__container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"spektrix-testimonial-callout__slider\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-slide-count=\"1\"\n\t\t\t\t\trole=\"region\"\n\t\t\t\t\taria-roledescription=\"carousel\"\n\t\t\t\t\taria-label=\"Testimonial quotes\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<article\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"spektrix-testimonial-callout__slide is-active\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-slide-index=\"0\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\taria-hidden=\"false\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"spektrix-testimonial-callout__card\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"spektrix-testimonial-callout__top\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"spektrix-testimonial-callout__mark\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.spektrix.com\/wp-content\/themes\/spektrix-2026\/assets\/images\/blog\/Lime-Quote.svg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"48\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\theight=\"42\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\taria-hidden=\"true\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdecoding=\"async\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\/>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"spektrix-testimonial-callout__quote-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-subheading-1 spektrix-testimonial-callout__quote\">&quot;[The workshop] helped us recognise that making the request for donations isn&#039;t actually as daunting as it might appear.

every request and donation.<\/p>\n<p>In an open and honest discussion, team members explored their own relationships to charitable giving and spoke openly about the experience of asking for donations. In this judgement-free zone, they connected their experiences to those of their audience members and donors. The Polka team built empathy for the different ways people approach donating, and for the many factors that shape whether individual audience members choose to contribute.<\/p>\n<p>This empathetic understanding allowed the team to dismantle some of the stigma they had around asking for donations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"spektrix-two-column-rich-text spektrix-two-column-rich-text--desktop-heading-right wp-block-spektrix-two-column-rich-text\" aria-labelledby=\"spektrix-two-column-rich-text-heading-4\">\n\t<div class=\"spektrix-two-column-rich-text__container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"spektrix-two-column-rich-text__layout\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"spektrix-two-column-rich-text__heading-column\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"text-heading-2-bold spektrix-two-column-rich-text__heading\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tid=\"spektrix-two-column-rich-text-heading-4\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-acf-inline-contenteditable=\"1\" data-acf-inline-contenteditable-field-slug=\"heading\" data-acf-placeholder=\"Add heading\u2026\" data-acf-toolbar-title=\"Heading\" \t\t\t\t\t\t>Connections and collaboration across departments<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"spektrix-two-column-rich-text__cta-wrap\" data-acf-inline-fields-uid=\"two-column-rich-text-cta\" data-acf-inline-fields=\"[{&quot;fieldName&quot;:&quot;cta_image&quot;,&quot;fieldIcon&quot;:null,&quot;fieldLabel&quot;:&quot;CTA Image&quot;,&quot;useExpandedEditor&quot;:true,&quot;popoverMinWidth&quot;:&quot;300px&quot;},{&quot;fieldName&quot;:&quot;cta_title&quot;,&quot;fieldIcon&quot;:null,&quot;fieldLabel&quot;:&quot;CTA Title&quot;,&quot;useExpandedEditor&quot;:true,&quot;popoverMinWidth&quot;:&quot;300px&quot;},{&quot;fieldName&quot;:&quot;cta_link&quot;,&quot;fieldIcon&quot;:null,&quot;fieldLabel&quot;:&quot;CTA Link&quot;,&quot;useExpandedEditor&quot;:true,&quot;popoverMinWidth&quot;:&quot;300px&quot;},{&quot;fieldName&quot;:&quot;cta_image_fit&quot;,&quot;fieldIcon&quot;:null,&quot;fieldLabel&quot;:&quot;CTA Image Fit&quot;,&quot;useExpandedEditor&quot;:true,&quot;popoverMinWidth&quot;:&quot;300px&quot;}]\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" data-acf-toolbar-title=\"Edit CTA\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<aside\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"spektrix-two-column-rich-text__cta spektrix-two-column-rich-text__cta--image-fit-contain\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"spektrix-two-column-rich-text__cta-card\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"spektrix-two-column-rich-text__cta-media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"833\" height=\"833\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spektrix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/fundraising-targeted-campaigns.jpg\" class=\"spektrix-two-column-rich-text__cta-image\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 640px) 134px, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.spektrix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/fundraising-targeted-campaigns.jpg 833w, https:\/\/www.spektrix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/fundraising-targeted-campaigns-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.spektrix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/fundraising-targeted-campaigns-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.spektrix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/fundraising-targeted-campaigns-768x768.jpg 768w\" title=\"\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/aside>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"text-body-2-regular spektrix-two-column-rich-text__rich-text\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-acf-inline-fields-uid=\"two-column-rich-text-rich-text\" data-acf-inline-fields=\"[{&quot;fieldName&quot;:&quot;rich_text&quot;,&quot;fieldIcon&quot;:null,&quot;fieldLabel&quot;:&quot;Rich Text&quot;,&quot;useExpandedEditor&quot;:true,&quot;popoverMinWidth&quot;:&quot;600px&quot;}]\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" data-acf-toolbar-title=\"Edit rich text\"\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In April 2024, Polka converted donations on 5.95% of transactions. A year later, they compared this conversion rate to understand the impact of the Asking for Donations workshop: In March 2025, they had increased their conversion rate to 6.45%, leading to a nearly 15% increase in donations.<\/p>\n<p>One unexpected benefit of the Asking for Donations workshop was meeting colleagues. Ticketing and Development teams come together for this workshop. The group realised that members of their casual Ticketing team had never met their Development team. The gap didn&#8217;t stop there. The Ticketing team had a broad understanding of why donations are important for their organisation, but they didn&#8217;t know the specifics about which funds the team was focused on growing, how Gift Aid plays into fundraising goals, and the different branches of their fundraising strategy.<\/p>\n<p>At the workshop, Ticketing and Development teams were able to connect directly and gain a deeper understanding of important funding sources and the campaigns that the team is focused on this year. This helped them understand exactly how their donation conversions support the ongoing priorities of the Development team. Everyone gained a clearer understanding of the impact of every pound they raise.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"spektrix-two-column-rich-text spektrix-two-column-rich-text--desktop-heading-left wp-block-spektrix-two-column-rich-text\" aria-labelledby=\"spektrix-two-column-rich-text-heading-5\">\n\t<div class=\"spektrix-two-column-rich-text__container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"spektrix-two-column-rich-text__layout\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"spektrix-two-column-rich-text__heading-column\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"text-heading-2-bold spektrix-two-column-rich-text__heading\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tid=\"spektrix-two-column-rich-text-heading-5\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-acf-inline-contenteditable=\"1\" data-acf-inline-contenteditable-field-slug=\"heading\" data-acf-placeholder=\"Add heading\u2026\" data-acf-toolbar-title=\"Heading\" \t\t\t\t\t\t>Data insights that strengthen donation strategy<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"text-body-2-regular spektrix-two-column-rich-text__rich-text\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-acf-inline-fields-uid=\"two-column-rich-text-rich-text\" data-acf-inline-fields=\"[{&quot;fieldName&quot;:&quot;rich_text&quot;,&quot;fieldIcon&quot;:null,&quot;fieldLabel&quot;:&quot;Rich Text&quot;,&quot;useExpandedEditor&quot;:true,&quot;popoverMinWidth&quot;:&quot;600px&quot;}]\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" data-acf-toolbar-title=\"Edit rich text\"\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The workshop helped Polka set their financial year goals. They used the Donation Analysis Report in their Spektrix system to set these goals and the report enabled the team to track trends in giving. They gained insights into how audience members are making donations and identified opportunities for improvement.<\/p>\n<p>The team found that they receive the most donations at 10 am on Tuesdays, both over the phone and in person. Tuesdays are their quietest days, as they&#8217;re open to the public but don&#8217;t have any shows. Reflecting on these results, they found that the peace and quiet enabled the team to engage in personal conversations with audience members, and these connections led to more donations.<\/p>\n<p>In the mornings, the team has &#8220;fresh minds, high energy, and high motivation.&#8221; On the other hand, the data showed that the team takes the fewest donations towards the end of the week and after lunch. This was when the team reported having the lowest energy.<\/p>\n<p>These data insights enabled the Polka team to create strategic goals to work towards. Not only do they have monetary amounts they&#8217;re working towards; they&#8217;ve also put initiatives in place to help them hit those numbers. For example, the team has made it a goal to increase donations at the end of the week. Monetary goals are important, but breaking down the practices and behaviours behind the numbers is essential to creating strategies that work.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"spektrix-stats-row wp-block-spektrix-stats-row\">\n\t<div
