I need to start today with a confession and apology. In my last post I quoted some results from a recent campaign and, somewhat embarrassingly, they were wrong. I've now updated the post with the correct (and not quite as good) results.

I'm very sorry about this. As penance, here is my latest round-up of fundraising articles worth reading:

The annual IFC was held last week in Amsterdam and there's a slew of good posts and articles about some of the sessions:

• Fundraising Collective with 10 things about IFC.
• UK Fundraising on big data.
• Paul also reflects on the opening plenary from Bill Toliver.
• Charlie with some thoughts on loyalty and asking.
