Digital Tools, Analog Hearts

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn about digital tools that help fundraisers shine in offline donor cultivation.

These days, there is lots of excitement about digital fundraising: text-to-give, the latest email marketing practices, the AI trick of the day. But the word philanthropy literally means love of humanity, and humans want to give to other humans. What we are calling “donor fatigue” is much more about donors being tired of being treated like ATMs than the fact that donors are tired of giving. To bring donors back into the fold, we need to remember the roots of fundraising: people giving to people because a person asked.

This doesn’t mean we are returning to the pre-digital age. In fact, there are more tools today than ever before that can help you optimize your time behind the computer so that you can spend more time making human connections.

This session is sponsored by Donorbox!

We’ll be joined on the workshop by Jena Lynch to show you some cool tricks you can use in Donorbox.
