Building Donor Relationships: Best Practices
Presented by: Julie Ricciardi
In this session, we’ll explore the art and discipline of building meaningful donor relationships without overcomplicating the process or requiring a big budget. Too often, organizations overthink fundraising strategy and lose sight of what truly drives philanthropy: connection, trust, and shared purpose.
This session takes both a high-level and grassroots approach to donor-centered fundraising. We’ll zoom out to examine the mindset and principles that anchor strong donor engagement, and then zoom in to practical, everyday actions that anyone staff or volunteer can implement immediately.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re making fundraising harder than it needs to be, this session will bring you back to the heart of the work and send you home energized to build relationships that last.
