Leadership Gift Fundraising That Your Donors Will Love

Big gifts come from real affection for your cause, and the relationship you build with donors. Unfortunately, leadership giving, the stage before a major gift, is often under-resourced in fundraising shops. Technology has changed that and the organizations are realizing the incredible value of coordinated leadership giving outreach. And they're really "crushing" on the incredible ROI of engaging mid-level givers at scale.
 
There are donors in your base who already love your mission and are ready to make a greater commitment. It's time to engage them in a journey that will help them "be yours" for years to come.
 
Watch this webinar to hear how you can transform your leadership giving program and boost results immediately.
 
In this panel discussion, you'll hear about:
  • Why investment in coordinated leadership giving outreach is crucial and key questions to ask as you upgrade your program.
  • Tips on how to onboard great leadership giving officers and set them up for success.
  • How to show #donorlove, make your leadership givers heroes, and use anniversaries, birthdays, promotions, and other events to show you care.
  • The power of integrated omnichannel outreach (text, email, phone, and video) to make it happen.
  • Key leadership giving metrics and stories of success from institutions who have transformed.
  • How investing in leadership giving can boost immediate revenue and a future major gift pipeline.
