Let's Connect: Fundraising

Fundraising is the fuel that makes your nonprofit impact engine run. Clearly communicating your mission and your impact helps build strong relationships with your supporters. With the rapidly changing needs and priorities in 2020, how can your nonprofit keep your donors connected to your cause?

Join Gene Willis, Chief Engagement Officer for United Inner City Services, to discuss strategies for keeping your donors close and communicating through the 2020 chaos. After hearing Gene?s tips and strategies for fundraising during COVID-19, we will use breakout rooms to facilitate small group discussion where everyone will have the opportunity to ask questions, share, and network together. 

This is a program of the Let's Connect Virtual Discussion Series.
