Fundraisers: there are just six things you absolutely need to know to get a good return on your communications investment. Join Tom Ahern as he guides you through his Six Sacred Realizations of Donor Communications (cue the calming music).
Realization #1: Your case for support is NOT about your organization's need for cash. It's about the savory, enticing opportunity you've put in front of the prospect.
#2: Every donor communication sends a message. Alas, it's often the wrong message.
#3: Give your donor an important job to do
... AND MORE! Collect 'em all. You WILL make lots more money.
After taking this workshop:
- You will have a solid basis for your communications program.
- You'll understand why donor-centricity is key to growing fundraising results.
