Session: Amazing timing, outstanding results.
Queensland floods, Victorian floods, Christchurch earthquake, Japan earthquake…. incredible timing. In each case online donations with automated processing provided significant funds to support urgent action.
This presentation outlines the vision of a dynamic organisation embracing technology to achieve smarter communication, donor engagement, rapid response, and field worker support, effectively changing the paradigm for relief organisations. We will also look at ‘TouchBase’, an innovative remote web application to achieve a truly connected community.
Speaker Bio: Wesley Cooke is passionate about how digital technology can change lives. Within months of joining ACC International Relief last year, Wesley was able to transform the way they received donations, resulting in exponential growth. This ensured almost instant, project specific online donations were available for the recent Queensland floods and the tragedy in Japan – with accountability to donors.
Wesley’s next vision being implemented will revolutionise child sponsorship in terms of child connectedness with sponsors and organisational efficiency. He anticipates exceptional growth in the number of children ACC International Relief will be able to support, with minimal additional administrative overhead. This new system will allow a clear and powerful way to gather data from all across the globe and use it in some of the most creative ways to achieve some amazing outcomes.
