Be more intentional with how your donor recognition programs are leveraged.

Donor recognition programs are a useful way to steward donors and can help segment your donor relations efforts. Leveraged properly, they can also be a useful way to understand motivations, include more donors, retain those donors, and inspire future giving. Sounds like a no brainer, right? Unfortunately, many institutions’ societies remain stagnant, focused too much around benefits, and do not serve donors or the school. Join us online to learn how to revive these programs to ensure you are maximizing the return on your efforts.
