On Demand Program
Appealing to young donors is a challenge for institutions of all types. We may ignore them because we think they don’t have any disposable income, so it’s not likely that they will give, or give much. Presenting ourselves in interesting and relatable ways, sufficiently proving our thoughtful stewardship of their donations, effectively using social media platforms for outreach and engagement, navigating the variety of financial platforms like Venmo or Zelle, and even locating and maintaining their best contact information can feel daunting to an already busy Advancement team.
Young donors are the key to future, sustainable giving, and there are tried-and-true practices that we shouldn’t forget when it comes to the young and new donor pool. In this webinar, presented by Pam Spencer, Senior Consultant at Gonser Gerber, we explore the ways that you should be engaging your young donors. From messaging to methods, we will share steps that you can take to make sure you don’t turn off those young donors before they even begin to give. Our program design includes in-real time polling throughout the webinar so that we can hear from you about your experiences, your challenges, and even what you’ve found works great for your young donors.
Topics we will cover include:
- Case for support for young donors
- Reviewing methods of donating that are especially attractive to young donors
- Strategies for the engagement and cultivation of a new young donor
- Time, treasure talents- maximizing young donor impact
