As we deal with the negative challenges of a world-wide pandemic, we are simultaneously facing a flood of generosity from those looking to make a difference at our organizations during COVID-19.

Together we will explore emergency fund stewardship examples and opportunities from a variety of higher education, non-profit, and healthcare organizations. We will address leadership buy-in, report formats, and when and how to send these communications as well as balancing data with storytelling in these critical donor touch points. We must start now!

Unexpected Pivots: Reprioritizing Projects, Budgets, and Your Donor Relations Work
$50 | May 26, 2020 | 1pm ET

COVID-19 has thrown our checklists and neatly ordered work lives upside down. Now, during uncertain times, prioritizing and reorganizing our work, budgets, and staffing is more important than ever. A silver lining in this pandemic is the opportunity to take a step back from “tasking” and delve into the strategy of our work. As we face budget repercussions and the donor base ebbs and flows, what becomes priority and what becomes superfluous? How do we tie our donor relations work to the fundraising bottom line? If we have to do more with less in the coming months or year, where can we trim programmatic budgets and what has the most ROI for our organizations? As we triage our recurring tasks and regularly planned work, we will evaluate our processes and design a new way forward.

Please note: Our webinars have a maximum capacity of 1,000 live attendees. Access is given to the first 1,000 attendees that log on to the live session. Anyone who does not get live access will receive a recording of the webinar and have access to ask our team follow up questions as needed.

Communicating with Donors During Uncertain Times

$50 | Pre-recorded webinar

These past few weeks have been unsettling to say the least. In some ways they are allowing us to lay bare and question everything we do. Foremost among that are the communications we are sharing with our donors. Our communications need to be more thoughtful than ever and based on the needs of our donors, not necessarily those of our organization. Join DRG in this webinar to learn how to strategize and execute crisis communications, whether it be for one donor or thousands. We will cover the necessary items for recovering, and then thriving, during these uncertain times. As a community we will study what works and what doesn’t and you will leave this webinar with concrete next steps and answers to your questions to better serve your donors.
