The Webinars:

Loverize Your Donors
Tom Ahern –
Strategist, Author, Trainer, Speaker

You’ve heard the news: donor-centricity — an approach psychologist Jen Shang has dubbed “loverizing” — is a street paved with gold. It raises lots more money and retains donors longer.
But you’re in the trenches. You need practical advice. What — exactly — makes a direct mail appeal irresistibly “donor-centered”? How do you “loverize” your website or newsletter?
Learn the nuts and bolts in this heavily illustrated workshop from copywriting master, Tom Ahern.

The Donor Experience/Stewardship
Lynne Wester – Principal and Founder of Donor Relations Group

Put yourself in the donor’s shoes. They don’t want another lapel pin or bumper sticker. They want to know they make a difference to your institution and they are valued. Donor appreciation is not expensive, but neglecting it can be. Research shows that it is seven times more expensive to acquire a new donor than to keep the one you have. The solution is simple: put the donor first, consume yourself with the DX, their experience, not yours. Learn how to adjust the donor experience in the post-COVID landscape.

 

The Boom in DAF Growth
Brad Caswell & Ben Pierce – Co-Founders of Acadia Squam Group

Donor-advised funds continue to boom with tens of billions of dollars being contributed to them and being granted to charities nationwide every year. Ben Pierce and Brad Caswell, having led one of the largest DAFs for many years, share the inside story on how these charities work and how you and your organization can raise more money from them. They will provide you specific tips for improved results with your donors who have DAFs.
