Webinars
2023 Webinar Series
The one thing that sets successful nonprofits apart is their ability to create a magical donor experience that retains donors year after year. For more than a decade, we've taught strategies rooted in the 4 Pillars of Donor Relations—and now the 4 Pillars of the Donor Experience (DX)—to help organizations build meaningful relationships with their donors.​ The 2023 Webinar Series offers two tracks (24 webinars) that will teach you our proven concepts and strategies throughout the year.
Data-Driven Decision Making in Donor Relations Series
Are your donor relations efforts really working? How do you know? Data holds the key to evaluating your work, advocating for change and resources, driving your strategy, and achieving greater fundraising success.
