Learn the basics of Donor-Centered Fundraising

Over 70% of today’s professionals were not in the Development industry when Penelope first introduced the concept of Donor-Centered Fundraising. If this describes you or members of your team, then this forum is an essential learning experience. If you are trying to meet ambitious fundraising targets in a rapidly changing marketplace, Donor-Centered Fundraising can help you get there.

Take your team to the next level

If you have attended Penelope’s inspiring forum before, or if you have read her book, this fully updated seminar will give you the tools you need to operationalize Donor-Centered Fundraising. The day is loaded with new research evidence from studies conducted this year and last with over 35,000 donors. And, an all-new series of fascinating Case Studies will help you deal productively with this fundamental reality -- that the toughest sell you will ever have is not with donors, but with your own staff and decision-makers.

Donor-Centered…Now More Than Ever

Today’s fundraising practices and systems were developed in an era when donors were less demanding, competition was less severe, and fundraisers could rely on an unlimited supply of supporters. Now, however, wealth is shifting to a new kind of donor who is more independent, more questioning and much harder to reach. If that isn’t challenging enough, the number of not-for-profits continues to grow while donors themselves are trending towards supporting fewer causes.

What Is Donor-Centered Fundraising?

Donor-Centered Fundraising is a customer service-oriented approach to fundraising designed to raise more money by focusing on the things that donors themselves say will earn their loyalty and win increasingly generous gifts.

About This Seminar

Donor-Centered Fundraising Now More Than Ever is a pragmatic, interactive and forward-thinking forum that explains how Donor-Centered Fundraising works and presents intriguing case studies designed to help you and your team implement this winning fundraising strategy.
