Engaging a Tired Constituency 

Has your institution been in one campaign after another? Are you visiting with the same donors and not getting them to increase their annual giving? Have your donor recognition events started to feature the same people year-after-year?

It’s time to shake up your prospect pool and uncover the hidden gems in your database!

Donor fatigue is not unique to you, but you need to think about it strategically to overcome some of the hurdles that face all development and gift officers. In this webinar, brought to you by the Gonser Gerber Institute, senior consultant Kent Huyser will examine the ways in which our donors can tire of us, what we can do to prevent that feeling, and how we can reach out to more people so that our donor pool remains robust.

Topics include:

• What is donor fatigue (and does it even exist)?
• Using your database to uncover new names
• Working with faculty and staff partners for leads and getting appointments
• Using events to meet the right people
• Never underestimating cumulative donors
• Tracking social media feedback to find new friends
• Preventing fatigue moving forward

The fee is $295 per institution, which allows your entire team the opportunity to participate in this professional development at the same time. If you are a current client of Gonser Gerber, that fee is just $145. You will also receive a copy of presentation and a recording of the webinar with your registration.
