Fundraising in today’s complex landscape demands a fresh approach to donor communications. Nonprofits of all missions share a similar challenge: How can we rekindle the passion of our long-time donors while inspiring a new generation of supporters for our cause? In this interactive webinar, you’ll learn a new values-driven framework for thinking about your donors, and how to translate this approach into powerful messages that uniquely connect to your donor types, helping draw them immediately to your cause—no matter what fundraising effort you’re leading.
When you place your donors’ values at the forefront of your strategy, you develop messages that not only seek support, but also inspire action, solidify loyalty, and nurture a community dedicated to advancing your mission.
Join us as we break the traditional fundraising mold to build a fresh fundraising strategy and message framework that prioritizes building meaningful connections.
By the end of our workshop, you will:
1. Learn the pitfalls of traditional fundraising models especially when it comes to attracting new donors.
2. Transform your fundraising by turning your donor profiles into rich and robust values-based personas that will help you develop a campaign that connects with them.
3. Leverage your organization’s core values in your fundraising strategy to create authentic donor messages that reinforce what you uniquely stand for.
