From First Time Gifts to Major Donors [Video]

Asking someone to give to your organization can be difficult and uncomfortable. We know you have questions – Do you ask for a specific amount or just offer an opportunity? Do you ask for a monthly gift or one large gift? Many fundraisers can be stopped in their tracks because they do not know the answers to these questions – but making the ask is critical to the success of your mission. In this session, we will discuss the various types of “asks” when it comes to raising funds for your mission. They will give real examples of ways to ask and they will emphasize the importance of your organization’s story in every giving opportunity.

Using Digital Platforms to Get Your Story Out [Video]

So, are those digital platforms telling your story? This session will compel you to consider your current digital presence. You will assess examples and learn tips for using the digital space to communicate your story.

What’s an Oreo Cookie Without the Center?: What is Your Nonprofit Without Mid-level Donors? [Video]

An oreo cookie without the middle is just not the same. This can also be said about your organization – it is just not the same without your mid-level donors and nonprofits tend to look over this group. Sure, we see successes and impacts in measures of large major gifts, new planned gift commitments, or an increased average gift in direct mail. But, when you shift your focus to see mid-level donors as a significant part of your story, you’ll begin to also see greater retention, increased net revenue, and more donors moving into major gifts. In this session, learn why you need to start thinking differently about mid-level and how to create a system and structure that will make mid-level the hero of your story. This critical group of donors are vital to your organization’s success and this session will help you to see their value.
