Tell us how well we’re meeting your needs

The fundraising landscape continues to shift, and many organisations are navigating uncertainty, evolving donor expectations, and limited internal capacity. This roundtable offers a space to pause and talk with peers who are experiencing similar challenges.This is a facilitated, peer-led conversation designed for senior fundraisers to share lived experience, surface questions, and learn from one another. Rather than a webinar or training session, the focus is on connection, reflection, and sense-making.Come to listen, contribute, or simply hear what’s happening across the sector right now.Please note: This event is capped at 25 attendees. If you’re unable to register because the event is full, please email community@spektrix.com.

Fundraising Roundtable: A Peer Conversation for Senior Fundraisers (UK + ROI)

In this hands-on workshop, you will work alongside Spektrix team members and Spektrix users to build and configure your subsite - a free, mobile-optimized purchase pathway that links with your website. You can use your subsite as your primary purchase path or alongside it. For more inspiration on what is possible, check out the Support Centre article <a href="https://support.spektrix.com/hc/en-us/articles/16599454368797-What-is-a-Spektrix-Subsite" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">What is a Subsite</a>.This isn't just a demonstration; it’s a dedicated "power hour" to get the work done. You will log into Spektrix Link, apply your organization's branding, set up your navigation menu and configure settings required in the website Admin interface. You will leave the session with a subsite that is activated. All that will remain as a next step will be to link your new subsite with your website.<h4>What we will achieve together:</h4><ol><li data-list="bullet">Brand Alignment: Uploading logos and styling to ensure a consistent customer journey.</li><li data-list="bullet">Technical Configuration: Setting up Subsite Settings in <a href="https://admin.spektrix-link.com/login" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spektrix Link</a> and Domain Specific Config in Website Admin.</li></ol><h2>Prerequisites For Attendees</h2>To ensure you can go live by the end of the session, please ensure you have the following in place:<ol><li data-list="bullet">Subdomains Ready: Your required subdomains must be created as outlined in the Support Centre article <a href="https://support.spektrix.com/hc/en-us/articles/16600140023709-How-to-get-started-with-Subsites" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">How to Get Started with Subsites</a>.
