Five tweets for fundraisers for 28 February 2017

Here's another in our occasional selection of five tweets about fundraising or of relevance to fundraisers. Research, campaigns, examples, inspiration and ideas - Twitter never fails to deliver lots for fundraisers.   1. In the moment Twitter's moments function has been around for a while, but it doesn't seem to be used often by charities or fundraisers. Yet it's a useful tool to gather related content on Twitter and present as a curated collection. You could use it to pull together comments and pictures from a fundraising event or campaign for example. What does it look like? Here's an example from Zurich for Charities, featuring highlights from #CharityToday on 9 February 2017.  https://twitter.com/i/moments/829668630367453185   2. More fun in fundraising Our national membership body has a sense of humour. https://twitter.com/soniadunand1/status/833663058190991363   3. Free help with evidence-based decisions https://twitter.com/ProBonoOR/status/824271921546219523   4. The politics of fundraising Are charities and their sources of independent income under threat? If so, then fundraisers have a role to speak out for their profession and their organisations in support of beneficiaries, partners and clients. https://twitter.com/ChangeStartweet/status/835059569214763008   Jay Kennedy at the Directory of Social Change had similar thoughts recently: https://twitter.com/JKENNEDYDSC/status/809071070477254660   5.
