Director, Development Project on Government Oversight
There is no reason why sessions shouldn’t be fun and funny. Join us today to match your mid-level and major giving knowledge with our panel of fundraising superstars! Play against your fellow Bridge attendees for fun and prizes while you learn about best practices for identification, cultivation, and securing that big gift.
Do you know how to identify potential major gifts in your donor file? How do you cultivate a sustainer into a bequest donor? Is there an ideal time to ask for that “Big Gift”?
Find out when Karin Kirchoff of K2D Strategies and Chris Pabon from the Project on Government Oversight provide examples and practical tips for you on major giving. During the second half of the session, contestants drawn from the audience will be quizzed by our host Brandon Hemel, WETA’s senior director of data strategy and management, as they try to match their answers (and it could be you) with our celebrity panel of fundraising experts from a variety of nonprofits and consulting agencies.
Learning Objectives:
Apply best practices for cultivation and upgrading for mid-level and major gift fundraising
Adapt new ways to approach mid-level, major, and planned giving both through a short seminar by industry leaders and via playing a game with the panel of fundraising professionals—humor makes it memorable
Identify future mid-level and major gift donors within an organization’s low-dollar donor file
