Upcoming Presentation: Fundraising Across Generations
Fundraising Across Generations (three hours, in person)

But engaging them in ways that fit their generational personality requires rethinking some practices of fundraising and donor outreach. This session will help participants identify the pros and cons of their current approach to next gen donor engagement and give practical research-informed suggestions for improving in the future.
