New! Virtual Donor Engagement: How to Connect With and Engage Your Donors Through Virtual Experiences

If You Register and Cannot Attend, You Will Get the Webinar Recording, Slides and Bonus Materials.

Join us for a hands-on training where you will learn how to create and launch a virtual engagement strategy that achieves your fundraising goals and withstands this era of wild change. 

COVID-19 has created an urgent need for human connection in a time when in-person experiences remain limited and uncertain - but how do we sustain momentum amidst a surplus of virtual events and webinar fatigue? 

How do we adapt our virtual engagement strategies to ever-shifting limitations and forecast revenues in an increasingly uncertain era?

Join Caliopy Glaros, a donor engagement strategist who is currently helping dozens of global nonprofits design successful virtual experiences that foster deeper connections and inspire increased support. 

This is not about executing one successful event - it’s about how to position that event in your entire engagement strategy so that you create something that complements - not competes - with your other initiatives. 

This is also not about investing in expensive software or learning an entirely new platform - it’s about using the resources you have to adapt and continue to engage your critical supporters.
