On Demand Program
As annual fund gift officers and development staff, we spend so much of our time cultivating that first gift from non-donors, yet we have repeat and larger annual fund donors that get no or very little special attention.
The time is now to start, or improve, your annual fund leadership giving societies. These are donors that give repeat gifts, larger gifts, or give every time you ask. Your leadership societies can be varied and offer different levels of recognition and allow you an opportunity to engage with your donors to discuss their future giving.
In this On Demand webinar, led by Gonser Gerber Senior Consultant, Pam Spencer, we will look at the various ways to improve or develop an annual fund leadership giving society for your annual fund program.
Topics we will cover include:
- The role annual fund leadership giving societies play in a development program
- Utilizing your database to identify leadership society donors and prospects
- Strategies to solicit for giving societies
- Events and stewardship – cornerstones of a giving society program
