Next Gen Donor Engagement: A Fundraising Innovation Roundtable
As we look forward into 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, and the future is at risk.
The next generation of donors will be critical to future fundraising success, but they're spending their time with causes or pursuits they see as more exciting. 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 2020 and into the 21st century? We'll discuss how your institution can use technology to gain attention from donors in a personalized way.
- What does it mean to be data-driven, agile, and omnichannel in today's communication environment?
- How do you get started? We'll talk about the first steps to take in transforming your donor engagement?
