Finding Online Donors

Finding Online Donors

Nonprofits get some great benefits when they drive online giving. Online giving is cost-effective to execute, and online donors generally give more per gift than offline donors. And online donations are easier to accept and process, so you save time and donations go to work for you faster. In this webinar, two very successful online fundraisers, Maumee Valley Country Day School and Food Lifeline, will describe how they drive existing donors to give online, and how they solicit new online donors.

Many nonprofits today communicate their message by only using their in-house website, social media sites, emails and newsletters— thinking that other media outlets are out-of-reach or too expensive. However, the most successful and well-known nonprofits understand what the media is like today, and create relationships with them to effectively get their message out to the masses at little or no cost.

Leveraging Your Board

Leveraging Your Board

For most nonprofits, having a Board of Directors is a given. However, many nonprofits feel that their Board takes a passive rather than active role in the organization, viewing their Board membership as an obligation rather than an exciting opportunity to contribute. Would you like your Board members to become dynamic contributors to your organization? in this webinar, we discuss best practice for recruiting and managing Board members to achieve optimal results with two seasoned philanthropy consultants who are experts at coaching nonprofits to coax the very best from every member of their Board.

Engaging Your Entire Audience

Many guests who attend charity auctions come with their hearts and pocket books open, yet leave without getting the chance to give or feel included in the fundraising process. A big reason for this is because the event isn't inclusive enough, and caters to the small percentage of guests who can afford big ticket items in the live — for everybody else the live auction is just a spectator sport. Your invaluable donors have made an investment in time and money to attend your event, so make sure to include them from start to finish! This webinar will explain how to engage your entire audience during the live event with fun and creative fundraising ideas. Watch the webinar »
