"It’s the Quality and the Quantity:  Donor Retention"

 

A vital part of any fundraising program must be the retention of donors and volunteers. We spend a lot of time prospecting for new donors, yet if we don’t invest the time or dollars to build loyalty with our current supporters, we risk losing them.  Jill Westgard, CFRE, will share practical tips for keeping donors informed, involved and nurtured as well as challenge us to think of how we can better utilize the skills and assets of our volunteers. 

Jill is the Deputy Director for Museum Resources and Stewardship for the Yale University Art Gallery.  She has been with the Gallery since 2004 when she was hired as its Director of Development.  During this time, she has grown her department from a staff of two to its current size of ten and her responsibilities have also grown to include Visitor Services and Public Relations in addition to development, membership, and special events.  Prior to Yale, Jill held development positions at the Neuberger Museum of Art at Purchase College, SUNY, the Elvehjem (now Chazen) Museum of Art at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Whitney Museum of American Art.  She earned her CFRE designation in 1998 and has worked in the field since 1992.  Jill is a graduate of the University of Virginia and earned a master's degree in art history from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
