Non-Profit Thursdays™
March 2017 Topic
“The 2016 U.S. Trust Study of High Net Worth Philanthropy Unpacked”
Background
The power of knowing and understanding major gift donor motivations, priorities, giving patterns and other vital data in the donor cultivation and solicitation process cannot be underestimated. A fundamental understanding of this donor centered fundraising approach is often the difference between a vibrant non-profit philanthropic program and an organization that is barely surviving year after year. At the institutional level many fundraising professionals are being told to go out and “hunt” for new major gift donors. It’s a Fire, Ready, Aim approach that is often sales based and inappropriate.Utilizing good philanthropic data and being able to apply it to raise money yields long term generous donors and a mission that is fulfilled.
Questions for Non-Profit Leaders:
How Do I Identify Major Gift Donors? What are the motivations for HNW Philanthropic donors? What does the HNW Study mean for me and my organization? Are we using the correct cultivation approaches and timing with potential donors before asking for a gift? What is the best way to use the 2016 HNW Philanthropy Study?
These questionsand more will be addressed at the March 2017Non Profit Thursdays ™ Lunch seminar and will be invaluable to every Non-Profit leader who wishes to understand how to strengthen their Major Gifts, Special Gifts, Capital Campaign, and Planned Giving Programs.
Learning objectives
How to use the data in a practical and effective way to strengthen my organization?
How to wisely steward donorrelationships?
How to use the information to empower my board?

•Chief Executive Officers/Board Chairs
•Chief Development Officers/ Major Gifts/Board Members
