Relationships are the foundation of fundraising resiliency.
A broad, diverse, and engaged coalition of donors can fuel a mission year over year, even through crisis or uncertainty—but donor loyalty doesn’t happen automatically. This panel will explore:
What it does it take to build real relationships with donors?
What inspires donor loyalty and ongoing investment?
How can lean teams expand their reach?
About this event series
In an uncertain world, we need nonprofits more than ever. But uncertainty affects nonprofits too, complicating everything from strategic planning to service delivery. For fundraisers, the demands are high: Raise funds today—and deliver the growth for tomorrow. Aperio Philanthropy, in collaboration with the NYU SPS Heyman Program, will host three free, virtual panel discussions to explore:
How do we build fundraising resiliency in an environment where the only certainty is uncertainty?
How do we make revenue growth that is predictable?
How do we craft strategies that work no matter the surprises, changes, and crises that come our way?
