AFP-NJ: Connecting With Donors in Light of COVID-19

COVID has radically changed how fundraisers and organizational leaders can engage with donors, prospects, and alumni. As social distancing has become the new normal, we've become masters in pivoting and innovating. Yet as we gear up for the planning of 2021 events, it begs the questions: "What do we do without in-person parlor meetings, events and cocktail parties? And how can we possibly turn the virtual space into an innovative and engaging platform to deliver on our mission and deepen relationships with our most loyal supporters in the Garden State and beyond? In this highly interactive session, we will experience and explore the safe and smart donor cultivation strategies during COVID.

This session focuses on transforming the virtual space into an engaging and interactive, community-building experience for donors, prospects, and alumni. The session itself will be engaging and includes peer-to-peer networking and conversations. The presentation is unique as it builds on the success of the "Virtual Donor Cultivation Events" training.

Participants will gain:

*Powerful ideas for meaningful and engaging live virtual donor cultivation events.
*Inspiration to try new ideas online to increase donor engagement
*New ideas for their fundraising toolbox.
*Connections with fundraising and organizational leaders and colleagues.
