We are delighted to invite you to ELEVATE, a conference designed to help charities like yours rise to today’s challenges with fresh ideas, bold strategies, and cutting-edge innovation. Our sector is facing unprecedented pressures; a funding crisis, recruitment and retention struggles, declining fundraising revenue, and increasing demand for services. At the same time, fundraising teams must keep pace with rapidly evolving technology, social media, and digital tools – all while addressing critical issues of donor trust, acquisition, and retention.
At ELEVATE, we’ll explore how charities of all shapes and sizes are navigating this landscape and driving success.
The programme is currently in development by the expert team at Fundraising Magazine with the aim of enabling you to take your fundraising to the next level.

ELEVATE 2026 is a Net-Zero Event
As event organisers, we at Civil Society Media are on our own journey to a sustainable future. We have calculated the carbon footprint of this event and implemented several measures to reduce it, including:
- Offering a fully vegetarian menu throughout the day.
- Selecting a venue which is the first and only royal college to achieve
- The Carbon Trust Standard, the world’s leading independent certification of an organisation’s achievements in reducing environmental impact.
- Going paperless—our event app will provide the programme, presentations, and delegate list, replacing traditional printed materials.
- Using fully recyclable badges—please hand in your badge and lanyard at the end of the day so they can be recycled and reused.
We are continually working to monitor and reduce our environmental impact. We have offset the remaining emissions of this event by investing in a carbon offset scheme. We have partnered with an ICROA-accredited organisation, ensuring that only certified carbon offsets from internationally recognised registries are used to meet the highest standards of environmental integrity. Civil Society Media has chosen to support the Mataven Jungle Indigenous Guardianship Project which protects biodiversity and preserves cultural heritage in Columbia.
