  Posted by Mark_Hager on January 30, 2024 at 9:30 am

  I’m looking forward to joining the panelists this afternoon and posing some of your questions. I’ve looked through all the questions submitted during registration, and I see seven arenas where more than one person are interested in discussion. Important: The panelists won’t necessarily cover all of this ground. I just like to summarize the direction of your questions before we get into the room –

  1. Far and away #1: Fundraising strategy

  · Where are nonprofits finding new donors?

  · What are strategies for attracting long-term donors?

  · How do we retain donors?

  · How can we set ourselves apart to inspire the individual donor to commit at a higher level?

  · How do you create compelling campaigns without exploiting people?

  2. Creating a culture of philanthropy

  · What are ways you can create a culture of philanthropy within your organization?

  · How do you make donors feel “connected” to the mission?

  · Why there is a decline in individual giving?

  3. Systems and software

  · What do we need to know about donor databases and integration with accounting software?

  · How to set up a reliable system for individual donations when capacity is an issue?

  · At what point is it necessary to pay for donor management software?

  4. Challenges for small nonprofits

  · Is it possible to cultivate individual donors without a staff position dedicated to this?

  · How can small nonprofits research new donors without wealth insights software?

  · What are some steps organizations with limited staff capacity can take to connect with more grassroots donors?

  5. Donor-advised funds

  · How can nonprofits access dormant Donor Advised Fund dollars?

  · Can you provide information on connecting with DAFs and individual wealthy donors?

  6. Board engagement

  · What is the most effective way to engage the board to offset thes risk over-reliance on one or a few donors?

  · How do I motivate the board to be involved in fundraising?

  7. Measuring success

  · What would be the best KPI’s for donor funding?

  · How can we enhance our fundraising strategy by focusing on creating usable dashboards and tracking key metrics?
