AFP Chicago Virtual Workshop

March Virtual Workshop
Topic: Turning Crisis Donors into Long-term Investors
Friday, March 25, 2022 | 12:00 - 1:00 PM

Open to Members ($20) and Non-Members ($30)

"Turning crisis donors into long-term investors" is a topic that is important to all non-profit organizations.  Many new donors activated around urgent calls for assistance caused by the onset of the pandemic and its ripple effect on people’s lives as well as the call for racial equity in light of the health disparities of the pandemic coupled with the George Floyd murder and subsequent protests.  The good news is people responded, moved by the needs presented by this global health crisis and calls for greater racial equity.  However, as the initial surge of urgency with these twin crises fades, organizations are faced with the challenge to turn these one-time donors into engaged, committed investors. This virtual workshop will bring together fundraising professionals from diverse organizations to share their approaches to this topic.  Additional small group work will allow participants to apply different approaches to their organizations and discuss their ideas among peers.

This workshop is approved for 1 CFRE point.
