Transforming Donor Engagement:
A Fundraising Innovation Roundtable
As we round out the calendar year and look to 2020, we're all talking about how to attract and retain more donors in a challenging fundraising environment with tons of competition. While mega-campaigns in higher education are setting records with older donors, more than half of colleges and universities say they are trending downward on donor participation, putting their annual renewable revenue at risk.
The next generation of donors will be critical to future fundraising success, but they are also looking to other causes-or not giving at all. It's time to think differently about how we can surprise and delight donors of all generations to reverse these trends.
RNL's team of fundraising veterans explores this topic and questions such as:
- What does donor engagement mean in the 21st century? We'll discuss how your institution can use technology to gain attention from donors in a personalized way.
- What is the future of omnichannel engagement? The experts will explain how our communications to donors can work together across channels like digital, social media, texting, direct mail, and phone.
- How do you get started? We'll talk about the first steps to take in transforming your donor engagement.
