Typically, we don’t spend enough time and resources planning and executing an effective stewardship program to cultivate our donors or create a relationship that encourages repeat lifetime giving.
Join us for this Institute webinar with faculty member Charlie Shepard, Senior Consultant at Gonser Gerber, as he presents the importance of stewardship for the increased and repeat gifts to your institution.
