WEBINAR: 6 WAYS TO BOOST PRE-EVENT PROCEEDS

The Nonprofit Summit is two days jammed-packed with exciting announcements, product feature enhancements, and inspiring customer stories. We know how hard it is to carve out time to attend these virtual sessions, even with the best intentions. That’s why our team is attending and taking notes to bring you the highlights condensed down to a 10-minute webinar. Watch this webinar as we dive into what these announcements, enhancements, and stories mean for your organization.

Nearly half of all donations are made in the last four months of the year, also known as the giving season. It's the perfect time for nonprofits to engage with their donors, create unique experiences and raise funds for their causes with online campaigns. Whether it is for a local “giving day,” a national event like #GivingTuesday, a year-end appeal or a giving month, when your supporters are engaged through a limited, time-bound campaign — it creates a sense of urgency that inspires more awareness and increases donations. ​

Open, honest, and transparent communication with grantee partners can help minimize power imbalances and help foster a sense of mutual transparency and accountability that is critical to our success as grantmakers. Ultimately, if we want to cultivate honest funder-grantee relationships, we must embrace and prioritize our own ability to be transparent and responsive. In this live, online event, we'll hear from leaders in the field about tactical ways to embrace transparency, the "faceplant" moments they've had along the way, and how they and their foundations have benefited from taking a more transparent approach. We'll explore questions such as: How can you be more transparent with prospective grantees about what you do and don’t fund? How can we strive for transparency with current grantees, especially if it has to do with making changes to your funding strategies? How can we remain responsive to our grantee partners amidst our very busy schedules and crowded inboxes? And… What might we be missing even when we think we’re being transparent and responsive? The knowledge that this panel will share will be of interest to any and all staff levels of community, corporate, and independent & family foundations.

Do you know how many donors you are retaining? Would you like to turn first-time donors into lifetime supporters so your nonprofit can thrive? In this session, we’ll explore the topic of donor retention and illustrate the impact improvements in your donor retention rate can have on your bottom line. In addition, we’ll walk participants through five different strategies for building relationships and turning one-time donors into life-long supporters.
