this year's conference:

SESSION - Three Story Asks that will Increase Your Donor Response and Raise You More Money

The easiest way to raise more money immediately, and in the future, is to present your donors with a compelling ASK.  In this session, you will learn how to use storytelling to create three different ask sentences that you can start to use immediately in your appeals, newsletters, and when you talk with a donor face to face.  These ask sentences get more donors to respond. With these three ask sentences, your fundraising with take on a whole new life.

SESSION - How to write a donor reporting letter

When donors know their gift made a difference, they are more likely to give you another gift.  A good donor reporting letter shows the donor her gift made a difference.  And right now is the best time to send your donors a donor reporting letter.  Because, as we head into the year-end fundraising season, you should be reporting back to all your donors.  If you’ve report back to them, your donors are more likely to send you a donation at year-end.  During this session, you will learn how to write an effective donor reporting letter…AND you will walk out of the session with a donor reporting letter that you’ll be able to send to donors right away.

SESSION - Why your organization should create a Gift Catalog and why they work so well

More and more organizations are creating gift catalogs.  Why?  Because they work incredibly well in bringing in extra money for your organization.  What is a gift catalog?  They are catalogs with multiple mini stories that show donors how they can make a difference.  Donors love gift catalogs.  In this session, you will learn how to create your own gift catalog and learn how to craft mini stories that get donors to open up their wallets and help your cause.
