Ready, Set, Succeed: Effective Onboarding for Fundraising Professionals

In the philanthropic community now, we have the greatest span of generations in recent memory—as donors, volunteers and professional practitioners. As we develop our fundraising programs, we must consider that each generation has different motivations for philanthropy, different modes of communication, and different ways that they will take action. So how do we engage Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials and the activist Gen Z in our causes? Explore the characteristics of the generations, communication methods, and do's and don't's in intergenerational development.

Presentation description: Take care of this, STAT! In fundraising, there are many “acute” issues that seem to arise every day—a donor needs immediate attention, or a proposal is due today, or a mailing needs to be approved right now. Unfortunately, this can lead to a high level of stress and lack of health for the development program and you, the practitioner! How can we change the paradigm and create a healthy, sustainable fundraising program that leads to a less stressed out fundraiser? In this workshop, we'll work on a comprehensive development plan that includes sustainable fundraising strategies, discuss ways to improve the health of your organization's culture of philanthropy, and examine what it takes to create a “wellness plan” for your development efforts.

It's often very easy to recognize when an organization needs to change, but it's a lot harder to make it happen! Legacy staff and volunteers, “we've always done it this way” perspectives, and plain old inertia can put many frustrating road blocks in your way. There are ways, however, for the persistent and patient to guide the change process and help an organization evolve. Using real world examples, we'll discuss the stages of organizational growth, personality archetypes you may encounter, and strategies to build momentum toward change.

Managing Change When There are Humans Involved

Do you love your work? Are you great at being a fundraiser? But do you have a sense that you could be a little bit more content with how it all fits together? In Japanese culture, there is a concept called ikigai, loosely translated to "your life's purpose." While there are a lot of discussions about finding your why and your passion, in reality, it's not just about that. Whether you'd like to work on your own sense of personal leadership, or help coach someone else, this session will provide insight on the elements of ikigai, the ways to evaluate where you stand on each of the spheres of life, and tools to improve how your passion, vocation, and mission intersect.

Let's face it, no one has enough time to manage their major gifts program by the book. Regardless of whether your major donor portfolio is 5 people, or 500, you need a practical way to qualify, cultivate, solicit and steward the people investing in your cause. Stealing from the tech field, this session discusses using Scrum, a project management model, to better track and implement the activities of your major gifts program. Using real world examples for a currently running campaign, you'll learn about the different types of process management, what Scrum is, and how to put this model to work.

With all the day to day demands of a development program, particularly at small to mid-size shops, it can be difficult, if not impossible, to think about cultivating major donors. Growing a major gifts program takes time, right? Yes, but any organization and any size staff can find a way to add philanthropic thinking to their all their fundraising strategies, which can lead to major gifts without a lot of additional effort. This session will share practical strategies on how to make big gifts happen regardless of your resources.

Everyone likes a good party, but what do you do when you know in your heart that a fundraising event has reached the end of its effective life? Rather than let the party go on, conduct an objective event audit and let the facts help you decide what do to next. In this practical session, we'll discuss the signs of a failing event, the tools to analyze the event's effective return, ways to soften the blow to volunteers of ending a losing program, and strategies to evaluate new events before they even happen.

So you have to raise money because you have no staff to raise the money and you have no staff because there isn't enough money. It is actually possible to break out of this cycle! In this presentation, designed for small shops, you will learn how to decide which of the many fundraising activities will work for your organization, get examples of activities that don't usually work in small shops and why, and strategies for how to get volunteers involved in fundraising even when they think they don't like fundraising.

There are many “givens” in fundraising that are based on “best practice.” Best practices are called that for a reason, right? In your day-to-day life, however, it often depends. We'll discuss the core purposes of common practices, apply critical analysis to determine if they're really effective, identify the new best things and emerging trends that might stick, and discuss how to make the best of the practices you can't get rid of. We'll focus on "what works," rather than "best practice."
