Watch the recording »
Most nonprofit organizations have a goal for individual giving, and typically a significant portion of that comes from major gifts. While the basics of major giving have not changed, the way you communicate and engage supporters, donor demographics, and technology all have. As a result, nonprofits need to adjust how their major giving programs are managed.
In this final #NoFilter Nonprofit webinar of 2017, Danielle Johnson Vermenton and Kishshana Palmer will tackle three components that will make or break your major giving strategy: staffing, technology, and your story. Join us to learn about coaching your team members to be superstars, using the latest technology for donor engagement, and sharing your organization’s impact the right way.
