Join us for a hands-on training for nonprofit professionals on how to connect with donors, where you will learn how to create and launch a virtual engagement strategy that achieves your fundraising outcomes and withstands this era of wild change. 

The pandemic has created an urgent need for human connection in a time when in-person experiences continue to remain 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, and helps your organization get new donors.  

This non profit training course is also not about investing in expensive software or learning an entirely new platform - it’s about using the resources you have to adapt to new and continue to engage your existing donors, find new potential donors, and get on with your online fundraising.

About Your Topic Expert:

Caliopy  is specifically qualified to teach this webinar because:

  1. She has spent years consulting organizations whose supporters can’t experience the mission firsthand (humanitarian aid and environmental conservation groups among them) in developing robust virtual experiences.
  2. She has worked with dozens of organizations to transform their in-person experiences (events, meetings, tours, performances, and trips) to virtual experiences.
  3. She is a practitioner as well as a scholar, who studies how participatory experiences change people. She helps translate the best research in social psychology and anthropology into immediately actionable and applicable steps.

Caliopy Glaros helps mission-driven organizations connect their stakeholders through travel, storytelling, and virtual engagement. 

As a consultant for Philanthropy without Borders, she works with organizations to create impactful virtual and in-person opportunities for donors to connect directly to the programs they support. 

After years of consulting nonprofits whose donors have limited in-person access to the mission-related work (such as humanitarian aid and environmental conservation groups), she developed tools and strategies to help them create virtual experiences that enhance participation and bring donors closer to the mission. 

In addition to her extensive research, writing, and speaking, she provides group training, meeting facilitation, individual coaching, and project consulting on mass market communications, one-on-one stewardship, events, site-visits, tours, and travel programs. Caliopy has an academic background in Anthropology and Adult Learning, and is a certified trainer in Intercultural Communication.
