This is your 3-step plan to year-end success:

  • Step 1: Getting more donors

    TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12 - 1 PM EST

    It’s the age-old fundraising dilemma – there’s never enough. Never enough time, never enough resources, and never enough donors! If you’re looking at the looming year-end and the upcoming Giving Season and still wondering where all the dollars will come from, we can help. In this session, T. Clay Buck and Sam Laprade will explore quick tips for prospecting, including growing your list, finding “hidden gems” within your current list (i.e. donors hiding in plain sight), and keeping your list up-to-date.

  • Step 2: Targeting on a time crunch

    WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13 - 1 PM EST

    Year-end fundraising is always a race and time is tight. There is no time to “spray and pray”; we can’t just push as much information out there as possible and pray we’ll get results. It’s essential to take a thoughtful and targeted approach during crunch time. In this session, T. Clay Buck and Barbara O’Reilly are looking at how, even with limited time and resources, you can focus your time, energy, and messaging on those who are most likely to respond and yield the highest fundraising results.

  • Step 3: Engaging at scale

    THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14 - 1 PM EST

    Some say you can’t scale engagement and relationships at a broad level. At the same time, it’s clear that today’s donors want a more personalized and affinity-driven approach to engagement. So how can you do it when you’re running at 90 miles per hour and trying to be a friend to everyone? In this discussion, T. Clay Buck and Cherian Koshy will dig into quick, scalable tactics to create personalized engagement and compelling storytelling to maximize your year-end fundraising.
