This Week

This week we tackle many common fundraising questions that our consultants are asked often. Jim Friend is joined by a talented group of Changing Our World fundraising consultants including Brandi Holys, Diana Curren and Ray Witkowski for this informative roundtable sessions. Some of the questions the group discusses include:

* Why do people Give?* When is the best time to fundraise?* How can I stop marketing and communications from overlapping with my appeals?* How do I not only find more donors but more donors that are the right fit for my organization?* Why do I have to use a specific ask amount?* What’s the best way to steward a donor ? How important is donor recognition? * How often should I be in contact with my donors…before and after their gift?* How often should I be communicating with my donors?* How important is online giving?* How important are special events? How can I leverage my special events?

Please join us for this informative discussion. Do you have a question that you’d like to ask? Send Jim an email and maybe we can answer it on our next episode.
