Is it too early to be thinking about year-end fundraising? Not at all.  Given the incredible challenges nonprofits have experienced this year, laying the groundwork now for your End of the Year (EOY) fundraising appeal is critical to its success. What makes an incredible year-end appeal?  How do you get people to open your letter or email appeal, and more importantly, to give a gift? What can you do once your appeal has been sent? Join TREC as we discuss easy ways to boost the success of your year-end appeals using mail and email platforms.

With so much happening on so many fronts so quickly, the challenges to fundraising are even greater. You are scrambling, adjusting, adapting, learning, leveraging skills, and doing your best to keep engaged. This is no small feat! Doing this while you are also navigating your own world and challenges. Balancing your staff's needs, your leadership, and your supporters can leave very little time and attention to support yourself in sustaining resilience and well-being.

Major Gifts are likely to be some of the largest gifts you receive outside of grants. So what is a Major Gift? And how does major donor cultivation and solicitation differ from smaller individual gifts? Join us as we answer these questions and outline the 5-steps you can take to developing a successful major gifts program.

One of the simplest and most common ways to leave a lasting legacy is by leaving a planned gift. During this webinar, we will review the many vehicles for leaving a lasting legacy, including Bequests, Charitable Gift Annuities, Life Income Gifts, and Donor Advised Funds. We’ll also spend some time reviewing the most important pieces for your planned giving program. Help your donors understand how they can support the work that you do long into the future to create a lasting legacy.

Fundraising is a fairly static field, with many tried and true strategies, but some of these strategies are no longer effective or even appropriate in the new world of 2021. We’ll discuss strategies to support you in surviving and thriving in your fundraising work this year, as well as in your experience of doing this demanding, yet fulfilling, work.
