We all know there are “rules” for fundraising….the proper way to
write an appeal letter, how quickly to thank donors, what compels
someone to give and so on. But as times change, and donors change, it is
time to change those “rules”? X’er’s, Nexters, andMillenials are
moving in on “boomer” territory.  This thought provoking workshop
will explore who gives now and why and discuss tactics to consider as
you tailor your message to multiple generations.

In today's economic climate nonprofit managers and other fund
development professionals can feel as if they must be superheroes to
keep their organizations’ doors open.  For this reason the old adage,
"Work smarter, not harder," has never been more important… even for
superheroes.  In this presentation, lead by an experienced event planner
and non-profit manager/fundraiser, participants will learn how to be
strategic about when and how to choose special events as a part of their
fund development plans, and how to help ensure those events are
successful.
