School Year, Interrupted…Beneficiary Interactions of the Future
$50 | Session Recording Available Now | Presented by Lynne Wester & Sarah Sims
You planned all year for your scholarship thank you luncheon, your student/campus gratitude day, and a myriad of other activities that involve student beneficiary and donor interaction… but now that cannot happen as we planned. It’s time to rethink beneficiary and donor interactions differently as well as set new expectations for both our internal and external audiences. We will cover content/impact collection methods, considerations of student time and experience, and balancing donor expectations. It’s a new day on many of our campuses and not all changes delivered to us by the pandemic are bad. Leaning into current technologies while also empowering students to help make a difference in fundraising is the way forward. Join us for this important discussion and come away with new ideas to implement in your shop to enhance both the student and donor experience.
Virtual Event Best Practices
$50 | Session Recording Available Now | Presented by Angie Joens & Christine McGuire
Virtual events are here to stay. You’ve probably been building the plane while you’re flying it- whether you’ve already done one or many, or not yet waded into the water, this session will ground you in what works and what to avoid. We will look at examples, share timelines, and explore other tools necessary to create an engaging online experience for your audience and key stakeholders. From how many RSVPs you can expect, platform options, technical pitfalls, avoiding screen burnout to finding topics that will resonate and bring an audience, we will cover the basics and more. Join us for this session to take a step back from cobbling these events together to strategizing and implementing virtual events that truly move the needle.
Top Donor Engagement During a Pandemic
$50 | Session Recording Available Now | Presented by Lynne Wester & Matthew Helmer
You probably are staring at your IEPs (Individual Engagement Plans) and wondering “what now”? The truth is, your top donors are still your top donors, regardless of the current state of affairs. While your short-term plans for these donors may have changed, there are still many tactics you can employ to retain their long-term engagement and keep the relationship moving in a positive direction. During this session we will discuss how to shift some of your touchpoints online, review examples of remote gifting that work, and explore engagement opportunities that are still viable and meaningful in this climate. Bring your crumpled up plans and we will together to help smooth them back out and refine top donor engagement now and in the future.
Timely Thinking about Thanking - Digital Acknowledgments
$50 | November 5 | 1pm ET | Presented by Lynne Wester & Jan McGuire
Many organizations moved their acknowledgments from print to digital in the past several months. This decision has now been compounded by issues with USPS and the upcoming deluge of election mail. This session will cover what is working and what still needs to be addressed in the digital space including ongoing messaging as the pandemic continues, how to stay relevant and meaningful, and tools to make online thanking easier. From providing a digital acknowledgement swap to exploring whether this shift is temporary or permanent, we will cover what you need to know about digital thank yous.

Don’t abandon the fundraising profession yet - just wait, there’s more! Put down your pandemic puppy, your Doritos, and take the last swig of your wine while still in your pajamas and log-in to this webinar. We will discuss how to reinvigorate yourself, your team, and your work while still maintaining the rest of your life. From simple work at home tricks to larger philosophies on coping with constant change, we’ve got your back. Come find your mojo.
Mid-Level and Unrestricted Impact Reporting
$50 | November 19, 2020 | 1pm ET | Presented by Lynne Wester
One things for sure, every donor wants to know they’ve made a difference. One of the great aspects of our work is that we have the privilege to deliver impact and tell inspiring stories! Whether it be through a video from a beneficiary or a written report, our job is to provide an opportunity for donors to see, feel, hear and fully understand their impact. Together, we will explore impact reporting for the donors who need it the most: those without named funds and those who currently give to operations and unrestricted funding. Demonstrating your organization has been transformed by their giving is a hallmark of a good program. This webinar will cover ways to organize information, efficiently repurpose content, and scale reporting from the base of the pyramid on up.
