Engaging Diverse Communities: Expanding Voices and Impact is a conversation-driven panel discussion focused on how fundraisers can more effectively connect with diverse communities and invite everyone to participate in philanthropy. Panelists will share, from their own perspectives, how fundraisers can be more engaging with culturally diverse audiences, and address barriers that prevent the creation of fundraising efforts that feel relevant, welcoming, and authentic. Panelists will share real world examples and insight, leaving attendees with practical takeaways they can endeavor to implement in their shops to strengthen donor relationships. 

By attending this session participants will:

  • Recognize how authentic communication can build trust, relevance, and connection with diverse communities.
  • Explore approaches that reflect lived experiences and engage diverse donors in meaningful ways
  • Leverage inclusive narratives to expand impact across diverse audiences.
