Presentation Summary: Are you feeling as if you’ve seen it all? That there isn’t a new fundraising idea out there?

You’re not alone, and we’re here to present this fast-paced, jam-packed session where you’ll hear about and see 30 fundraising ideas that WOWED three industry veterans who lead three different independent fundraising agencies. It would be an understatement to say they’ve seen hundreds of fundraising emails, direct mail packages, online ads, and text messages, as well as scripts for phone calls and on-the-street canvassing. You’ll discover 30 different fundraising campaigns they’ve seen in the last few years that amazed and impressed. And, you’ll see how these three “friendly competitors” forged life-long relationships — to remind you how great it is to be a fundraiser.

Learning Objectives:

  • Test fresh, creative ideas in your program — whether you’re from a small nonprofit or an international organization with hundreds of offices, you’ll find an idea you can test here
  • Try great ideas in every channel — from phone, to digital, to mail, to text, to the streets. if you’re stuck for new ideas this will be a great way to get energized
  • Reinvigorate old controls with innovative ideas — whether you have to change something because the paper just isn’t available or you’ve seen results fall off, you’ll see new approaches to old standards
