As the fiscal year comes to an end for many fundraising programs, we reflect on a challenging year. Fundraisers have faced numerous challenges due to economic conditions, shifts in donor behavior during the global pandemic, and increased competition for philanthropic funds. As we reflect on the year, let's take time to talk about what's next for the changing world of donor engagement.
Watch a group with combined experience of over 150 years in fundraising as they tackle key topics in an informal, conversational environment.
Topics include:
How donor engagement has changed in the past few years, with pandemic shifts, new technology, and changing donor preferences.
The best ways to manage resources to meet key goals in annual and major giving.
What "sustainable" fundraising strategy means for short and long-term goals.
How the removal of alumni giving rate (APR) from rankings impacts strategy and how we talk about goals with leadership.
The metrics that will really matter for fundraisers and our donors in the coming years.
What growing a "pipeline" to leadership, major and planned gifts really means in today's fundraising environment.
