Endurance Event Fundraising Success: An Insider's Perspective
Date and Time: Tuesday, August 13 at 1:30 pm EDT
DESCRIPTION:
August 5, 2013 /3BL Media/ - Endurance events are a great way to use the draw of an established race to boost fundraising. But hooking into the "big event" is only the first step. Effective planning and donor engagement are the real secret sauce.
Join FirstGiving and Chelsea Steed, Director of RUN FOR AUTISM (Organization for Autism Research) to explore fundraising performance data from three of the U.S.'s largest marathons (Boston, Chicago & New York) to extract practical & powerful planning practices.
Discussion will include:
- Timing Is Everything How far out should I plan? What points in the year are critical to fundraising?
- Teach Them How To "Fish" Engage donors & convert them into supporters and increase exposure through donor advocates.
- Identify Ambassadors Find the top 25% of fundraisers and learn what makes them stand out.
