Blended Fundraising- Building a Major Gifts Program Through Integrated Solicitations

Wednesday, March 14, 2012

Audioconference (Horizon Building, 1815 Schafer St. - Bismarck, ND)

Presented by AFP North Dakota - Northern Plains Chapter.

A successful organization provides its donors with many opportunities to support its mission, and solicits them multiple times each year through multiple channels (staff, board, volunteers, direct mail, e-mail, etc). However, donors can easily become confused and burned out by uncoordinated and “competing” solicitations for memberships, special event sponsorships, auxiliary dues, capital campaigns, annual fund, planned giving society, etc. One of the greatest challenges, and therefore opportunities, in establishing or growing a major gifts program is to integrate, or "blend," these solicitations into one coherent donor strategy and solicitation.

In this webinar we will discuss how to do so, which will result in more meaningful philanthropic discussions with our major gift donors and prospects, and greater support for our organizations’ mission.

Learning Objectives:

· Learn how a Blended Fundraising approach can be the basis for establishing and/or growing a Major Gifts program
· Receive tips & tools to lead and coordinate staff/volunteers in their Blended Fundraising calls
· Hear real-life examples of Blended Fundraising calls and their results
