Creating a Case for Support that will turn Doubters into Donors Presented by Tammy Zonker and Tom Ahern (USA)
We all need more donors. And we can see many potential donors on the fringes of our organisation. But something seems to stand in the way of that first donation. Research tells us that telling a compelling story and connecting on a deeper level is the key to success. US fundraising superstars Tammy Zonker and Tom Ahern will demonstrate the need and know-how of masterful storytelling to turn these doubters into long term donors.
Fundraising Using Culture Segments Presented by Jo Brehaut, Morris Hargreaves McIntyre
MHM’s Culture Segments is a powerful psychographic profiling system that helps cultural organisations build relationships across every facet of their operation. In this webinar, Jo Brehaut, MHM Director for Australasia, will showcase the application of Culture Segments for fundraisers. She will start with a broad overview of the psychographic nature of the framework, before thoroughly introducing each of the segments; their propensity to ‘give’, and what is most likely to get them to support your cause. This newly gained knowledge will help practitioners shape their program of activity and communications, for maximum return.
