Fundraising events are crucial for organizations to raise funds and support your cause. But in recent years, events have been challenged by cancellations, uncertainty, and shifting needs.

Whether or not your fiscal year ends December 31st, there’s no question that it’s still prime giving season. In fact, a staggering 30% of all charitable donations are made in the month of December, with an additional 12% pouring in the final three days of the year.

Organizations are competing for limited philanthropic dollars in a short period of time. But
sustainable fundraising means a year-round dialogue with your donors, not just limited to the last few months of the year. And showing current donors the love, retaining them, and growing their gifts, is one of the best ways you can end the year with a win.

Barbara O’Reilly, CFRE will share her expertise on how to elevate your year-end fundraising efforts, sharing four essential strategies that will empower your organization to focus, prioritize, and ultimately thrive during this critical giving period.

Key Takeaways:

• Insights on building a strategic approach to maximize your year-end fundraising.
• How to cultivate a year-round dialogue with your donors.
• Tips to build a robust donor engagement strategy that extends far beyond year’s end.

Trust is essential for growth. Unfortunately, in 2022, the Edelman Trust Barometer reported that nonprofits are perceived as less trustworthy than their corporate counterparts. And, GiveUSA estimates the number of US households that gave to nonprofits decreased from 66% to just under 50%. That’s a 16% decline in 22 years!

This challenge, combined with change as a constant, rising competition and costs to reach supporters, and competing priorities for time and budget, drive many nonprofits to opt in to one of three strategies:

1. They do nothing and hope the mission markets itself.
2. They try everything, which ends up looking a lot like nothing.
3. Or, they run one-off campaigns, which end up all over the place, and rarely offer productive insights.

Each relies more on magic, not marketing. During this session, Noah will share a framework that breaks down silos between marketing and fundraising, enabling nonprofits to use community-first principles to unlock supporter and funding growth.

Key Takeaways:

• Learn common pitfalls holding nonprofits back from growth.
• Explore the Good Marketing Framework and learn how to apply it.
• Examples of how other like-nonprofits are using the framework.

As most fundraisers know, event fundraising doesn’t just happen the day of the event. It takes intentional planning, thought, and hard work. As fundraisers, we also need to look beyond the event details and tasks – and challenge ourselves to incorporate antiracist and community-centric principles into every stage of our event planning.

In this panel, Rachel D’Souza-Siebert will facilitate a conversation between individuals from different convenings and nonprofit organizations. The conversation will explore how event planners and organizers can bring Community-Centric and Antiracist fundraising principles into the event space and community-oriented events to help their missions and fundraising truly blossom.

Key Takeaways:

• Moving from transactional to transformative events with systems change and antiracism.
• Creating events that connect diverse stakeholders and donors to organizations.
• Strategies to steward and cultivate relationships with donors after the event.

The fundraising event has ended, so now the work can begin! Wait, what? You’ve just spent months planning and hosting your fundraiser. Shouldn’t it be time to rest, relax, and reap the rewards? Absolutely, BUT the event isn’t the end of the journey… it’s the path to unlocking fundraising potential!

Donor Acquisition Cost (DAC) is a critical metric to any development team. It can cost 50% – 100% more to acquire a new donor than the dollars collected. Learning how to retain donors and turn them into recurring supporters is a must-have strategy for every #FearlessFundraiser. In this session, you’ll learn how to utilize your event data to make informed, intentional moves to turn one-time event donors into repeat supporters of your mission.

Steph and Ryan will share why investing time in managing donor data is important, how to deepen your understanding of current donors, reach new markets, and tap into underutilized resources.

Lastly, you’ll put your knowledge to the test by breaking down real-life examples and discussing what the data is saying about you how to turn donors into mission advocates by curating their donor journey! Please note that this session contains OneCause specific product content.

This session will walk you through the importance of tying every fundraising event detail back to the people. We all know that fundraising is about building relationships, but did you know that every detail of your event can help foster deeper connections with your supporters?

• Cultivate better sponsor and attendee relationships through attention to detail.
• Be intentional in thanking and stewarding your donors.
• Learn to think creatively when choosing speakers and stories of impact.

Nonprofit organizations MUST use video to meet their goals. That’s a fact no one can deny. But, there are barriers to collecting, organizing, and sharing community-generated content (CGC).

As fundraisers, we tend to have an idealistic picture of what it looks like for a donor to give to our organizations. We often assume that because they’re already on the donation page, they trust us, are motivated to give, and all it takes to get a donation is a streamlined way for them to enter their donation information.

But what all the data tells us is that, in the best scenario, your donation page is FAILING donors 78% of the time.

In this session, we’ll uncover how to optimize your forms for the busy year-end giving season. You’ll discover 5 common ways that your donation page could be failing your donors. And you’ll be equipped with tested and proven tactics to improve your donors’ experience and increase donations.

Awkward… a donor didn’t give you another gift this year. Should you try to win back your lapsed donors, and is there a right and wrong way to woo them?

Many of us work with volunteers, and while we value their time and their talent, we often wonder what it takes for them to give their treasures too. Most volunteers are not at the executive level and can’t just write a check or underwrite an event. They get involved because they want to give back. As fundraisers, our job is to provide meaningful opportunities and create connections. So what can we do to engage them?

Christina will share tips to help engage corporate and individual volunteers and teach you how to engage them in your mission. She’ll discuss how volunteering is a great equalizer for how people can interact with your nonprofit. Regardless of racial, ethnic, socio-economic, or professional backgrounds, everyone has something to bring to the table, and Christina believes our job is to utilize that lived experience to make a connection with those served by our mission.

Working with volunteers is a long game, but the yield can be incredibly meaningful for all.

Key Takeaways:

• Complete a volunteer action plan.
• Understand the infrastructure needed to engage volunteers.
• Build a portfolio of volunteer engagement opportunities.

Cows and buffalo have different approaches to surviving storms. Cows run from storms, inevitably never out-running them and experiencing longer periods of pain and suffering.

It’s how we respond to the storm that makes all the difference with our donors, board members, and your team.

As a nonprofit fundraiser, you know firsthand the importance of every dollar that helps achieve your organization’s mission. That’s why it’s essential to find creative, effective ways to raise funds and engage donors.

But… what if the robots have already found the solution and are using skills to develop incredible ways to create, repurpose, and utilize artificial intelligence (AI)?

At first glance, AI might seem like a threat to job security, with analysts predicting that as much as 50% of current jobs may be lost or replaced by AI by 2030. But don’t despair! While AI is capable of handling certain tasks, it is not able to possess the “soft skills” or “human skills” that are necessary to building truly deep relationships with your donors. These skills, like communication, leadership, empathetic listening, and connection, are what set us apart from the machines.

So, how can you use AI as a fundraising tool and integrate soft skills to remain relevant in the nonprofit industry?

Key Takeaways:

The purpose of this presentation is to demonstrate positive culture change in a real-life nonprofit and how we transformed our fundraising using Organizational Development (OD) theories of Emotional Intelligence (EQ).

At Brevard Zoo, we launched a $100 million campaign to build a second campus, a world-class Aquarium, and a Conservation Center in Florida. Historically, we raised an average of $1.5 million per year primarily through events, but with this massive new capital undertaking, our philanthropy department’s expectations needed to drastically change. We had to find a way to power explosive growth, navigate radical change at a breakneck pace, sustain high-functioning performance, AND hit record-breaking revenue goals!

Join us as we break down this real-life nonprofit case study and apply EQ/OD principles to show you how to drive change and cultivate visionary leadership. We’ll also explore how the Brevard team deepened mutual trust among members, built a strong sense of group identity, and rallied together to transform their fundraising practices for long-term success.

Today, the demand for your donors’ attention is fierce. She lives in a world full of distractions continuously competing for micro-moments of attention. This influx of messages is overwhelming. It forces her to pick a few that are most relevant and ignore the rest. She may even opt out completely and retreat to personal feeds or friend recommendations when determining which brands or causes to connect with.

Most nonprofits’ responses are to do more, send more, buy more. Each an attempt to steal bits of her attention in hopes she’ll respond. This is timely, org-centered, and wasteful. Additionally, it tosses your hat into a ring crowded with big brands, cat videos, 24/7 news, Netflix series, Apple releases, and hundreds of other worthwhile causes running the same playbook. As well, we as fundraisers are asked to do more with less, specifically around the tactics and technology that surround our ecosystem to grow generosity.

Is there a better way? Can any nonprofit stand above the noise? Amidst uncertainty and shifting donor expectations, how should you design and lead your fundraising teams? How does this impact your ability to collaborate to deliver a responsive supporter experience?
