How to Organize an Annual Giving Campaign that Draws Donors in and Keeps Them Engaged

A Whopping 92% of the People Who Attended This Nonprofit Webinar Recording On How to Create a Successful Fundraising Campaign Rated It As Great to Excellent!

Join Sabrina Walker Hernandez for this 90-minute interactive nonprofit webinar where she will show you step-by-step how to set up and run an Annual Giving Campaign that draws donors in and keeps them engaged for your nonprofit.  

Each client that walks through your door or accesses your service is unique. One may be experiencing hunger. One my need art therapy. One may not have a home. It is our job and mission to help each one. 

In order to do so, nonprofits need the generosity of local foundations, corporations and individuals. An annual giving campaign is a perfect way to leverage individual donors who know, like and trust your organization. It will strengthen the relationship you have with your supporters targeting donor retention and lapsed donors. 

An Annual Giving Campaign is a board-driven fundraising initiative, during a defined period of time, to secure unrestricted operating funds from individuals, while demonstrating the impact of a nonprofit’s mission.

Strategic in nature, an annual giving campaign requires planning and process. When implemented correctly, a successful campaign will:

  • Engage current Board members and donors;
  • Identify potential donors who can embrace your nonprofit’s mission;
  • Lay the groundwork for larger, major and planned gifts.

At the end of this 90-minute nonprofit recorded course on creating a fundraising plan you will have the knowledge and tools to implement an Annual Giving Campaign for your nonprofit organization.
