Luncheon – Increasing Mission Awareness and Donor Engagement through Giving Days; sponsored by Merrill Lynch
About Our Luncheon
Giving Days have become an international phenomenon, recruiting thousands of first-time donors into philanthropy. These events also provide excellent volunteer opportunities for nonprofits AND corporations. They increase the visibility of many nonprofits and build an awareness of the role of philanthropy in changing lives and communities. Nonprofit organizations benefit from the training they receive in marketing, communications, social media, donor recruitment, and stewardship. Launched in 2014, Fairfield County’s Giving Day raised $750,000 in 24 hours for 267 nonprofits. This year, the goal is to raise $1,000,000 for 325 nonprofits.
The AFP luncheon program on March 12, 2015, will feature highlights of Fairfield County’s Giving Day, which will have taken place the prior week (March 5). We will also discuss effective ways in which local nonprofit organizations can use this event to attract new donors and increase visibility in the community. The program will include a lively panel discussion, followed by a question and answer period.

Who We Are
Since 1995, we have helped leading nonprofits across the United States and Canada remove their biggest planned giving obstacles and double the results of their planned giving efforts with limited time and money. We listen to nonprofits—and their donors—and take what we hear to continually perfect the planned giving bridge between nonprofits and their donors. The result is the most cost effective, time efficient planned giving presentation system—donor motivation “in a box.”
Through The Donor Motivation Program® and The Donor Motivation Professionals of North America, a network of trained professionals, we have helped North American charities “motivate planned giving!” Tens of thousands of donors have engaged in our Donor Presentation Experience and rated it either “one of the finest” or “absolutely the best” of its type. Why? It “speaks donor!”
