A Moves Management Love Story
Presentation Description
Moving prospects through the donor life cycle is similar to a good love story: even after the courtship, it’s a lifelong journey of maintaining the relationship you worked so hard to build. But what does this truly look like? Regardless of how you interact with donors (in-person, phone, email, social media or various other technologies), building relationships in a healthy manner is a must for your organization’s longevity as well as your personal ethics as a fundraiser. We’ll discuss how to do this in a caring and thoughtful way, ensuring impact on your organization’s mission for year to come.

Friends for Life: Stewarding Legacy Gifts
Presentation Description
Most fundraising operates on a continuous cycle: discovery, cultivation, solicitation, stewardship...morphing back into cultivation for the next gift. But what happens when you secure a gift that requires decades of stewardship just to maintain it? Legacy gifts provide the ultimate opportunity for a donor to leave his or her mark on an organization, and if not stewarded properly over generations of fundraisers, can be reduced or even lost completely. This session gives attendees an opportunity to learn how best to steward legacy gift donors, with an emphasis on the fact that the professional securing the gift likely will not be the professional on staff when the donor's gift is realized.
