In fundraising, it’s all about relationships. Knowing and understanding your donors’ generational tendencies is one way to help build stronger relationships. This two-part online course will teach you the characteristic differences between each generation and how to build upon those in your development and communications plan implementation. You will leave with knowledge about each of the five generations, fundraising strategies to address each generation in a targeted way, and how to engage your audience through different social media platforms with a generational lens.

Learning outcomes and information about the presenter, can be found here.

A Deeper Dive Into Keeping the Strategic Planning Process Simple

Most of us don’t need to be convinced of the importance of planning. Research and anecdotal examples abound with organizations that have thrived or failed due to adequate or inadequate planning. The challenge for most of us is keeping the process simple and in alignment with our purpose. Being purpose driven helps non-profit and not-for-profit organizations not only differentiate themselves, but it also creates focus as to how and what is included in a strategic plan. In this session we will focus on the Why, How, and What of strategic planning.

Topic:

Now We’re Speaking the Same Language: The Basics of Charitable Giving Strategies for High Net Worth Donors.

This presentation covers financial strategies used by high net worth donors to maximize giving and minimize taxes. In this presentation we cover the basics of donor advised funds, charitable trusts, family foundations, gifts of appreciated assets, and estate planning considerations.
