Improving Your Annual Fund Results—Gwen Bowen, Advantage Consulting

What’s the secret behind a 20% bump in annual fund revenues?

The much-maligned telephone solicitation. But not the old, intrusive kind. That dinosaur is extinct! Today’s annual phone appeal needs an upgrade.

You’ve probably wondered, with the proliferation of caller ID’s, telezappers, and predictive dialers, is there still a place for telephone fundraising in your mix? The answer: a highly profitable “Yes!”

We will discuss segmentation strategies, use of e-mail, setting ask amounts, caller education, use of pre-call materials, and their effectiveness as well as other ways your in-house or outsourced phone program can become a showcase for your organization. This session will also brief you on new federal and state regulations, as well as market trends.


Two Most Important Words in Fundraising—Bonnie Cook, CFRE president/CEO of North Star Consulting

The most often overlooked aspect of fundraising is conveying the simple "thank you" to donors. How often should you thank a donor? What is required by the IRS and what do donors want? Learn the best ways to thank your donors and come away from this workshop with a concrete donor stewardship plan that will help retain your donor base and bring in additional dollars.
