Getting Started with Donor Development
Presented by Eddie Allen
Recorded September 14, 2022 @ 2PM
If you’re concentrating on special event fundraising, it costs you 50 cents on the dollar (more when you take into account staff salaries and time), and you actually lose money on direct mail donor acquisition.
Rather than just hoping that the right donors come to your signature annual event, your nonprofit organization gets the best ROI when you invest resources into an ongoing, thoughtful effort to cultivate and contact donors.
Workshop Overview
In this hands-on, interactive workshop, you will learn:
- No Database-No Donor Development
- Can I see your ID? Identifying your Top 20
- All The Right Moves-Not the Tom Cruise 80's Classic
