Annual Giving: The Fundamentals and New Strategies for the Changing Environment
The philanthropic sector has evolved and changed drastically throughout the past few years, and annual funds are a pillar that have stood the test of time. A strong annual giving program can help build a culture of philanthropy in a community, fund key organizational priorities, and build a robust pipeline of qualified major donors. In this session, CCS Fundraising will share the latest annual giving trends, reflect on tried-and-true annual giving strategies, and offer insights into the innovative tactics our nonprofit partners are deploying as they respond to the changing fundraising environment.
