“Leveraging AFP’s Fundraising Effectiveness Project – What Every Gift Officer Should Know About Donor Trends”
Hosted by: Visionary Philanthropy
Come learn about an important, free service provided by the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy.
The Fundraising Effectiveness Project (FEP) was founded in 2006 to help practitioners learn about donor behavior and trends, and thereby improve the quality of their work. FEP partners with six of the nation’s leading fundraising software companies to secure and evaluate every gift transaction recorded for the last fifteen years. This unique dataset represents over 329 million gifts to 33,355 organizations valued at 168.8 billion dollars. Last year FEP partnered with Giving Tuesday to further leverage the impact of understanding the phenomenon of generosity.
Come to this session to discover what happened in 2022, and learn how you can leverage this data at your own organization with the Fundraising Fitness Test. Benchmark your results against 150 data points and create a roadmap for improved performance.
The speaker at this session is the Treasurer of FEP and a member of the Collier/Lee County Chapter, and the president of Visionary Philanthropic Consulting, Scott Lange.

“Building a Sustainable Fundraising Plan: A Research-backed Guide to Healthy Fundraising”
Hosted by: Qgiv
With rising costs, the Great Resignation shaking up nonprofit teams, and individual donor numbers declining, fundraisers face increased pressure to raise more money with even fewer resources. This pressure can impact your job satisfaction and lead to high turnover rates within your organization—leading to an impact on your fundraising dollars. So, what can be done to address the increased pressures fundraising professionals are facing? Qgiv’s Building a Sustainable Future research study sought to answer that question and more! During this session you'll learn key findings from the study, participate in your own organizational audit, and walk away with a plan to build a more sustainable fundraising strategy.
