Date: Monday, April 3, 1:30 - 2:15 pm
Presenters: David Lawson and Jon Thorsen
Description: Successful fundraising requires listening and
communicating. Learn how Social CRM brings supporters
into the process to improve interactions and
relationships, and increase fundraising results!
Title: The Hunt for Hidden Donors
Date: Tuesday, April 4, 1:30 - 2:45 pm
Presenter: David Lawson
Description: Prospect screening has become very important to the
nonprofit community. A nonprofit organization's hunt
for hidden donors isn't always for the person involved
in the glitz and glamour of society--you might find a
millionaire next door.
Title: What is Development Services and Why Should You Care?
Date: Tuesday, April 4, 3:00 - 4:15 pm
Panelist: Jon Thorsen
Description: The lack of appropriate staffing and sound business
practices can cause fundraisers to waste time and
money, neglect prospects and alienate donors. A
Development Services department can help you address
these issues. This panel will discuss issues such as:
why nonprofits need a Development Services department,
where Development Services should report, what
functions should be included, what services Development
Services should provide, and how to hire Development
Services staff.
