Discover the power of behavioural nudges

As an experienced fundraiser, you know traditional fundraising strategies can only take you so far. To truly stand out and maximise giving, you need a science-led approach that taps into the psychology and neuroscience of donor decision-making. You need access to the frameworks and insights offered by decision science.

Our engaging training will equip your team, department or whole organisation with cutting-edge techniques that drive donor engagement, increase long-term giving, and boost campaign success. We’ll help you with proven approaches and real-world applications that work- across cultures, generations, and channels. (Oh, and we’ll show you how to integrate them with AI!)

“These insights have helped the whole organisation make a great leap forward in everything from fundraising to visitor engagement.”
