How to Organize an Annual Giving Campaign that Draws Donors in and Keeps Them Engaged

Join Sabrina Walker Hernandez for this 90-minute nonprofit webinar recording where she will show you step-by-step how to set up and run an Annual Giving Campaign that draws donors in and keeps them engaged for your nonprofit.  

Each client that walks through your door or accesses your service is unique. One may be experiencing hunger. One may need art therapy. One may not have a home. It is our job and mission to help each one. 

To do so, nonprofits need the generosity of local foundations, corporations, and individuals. An annual giving campaign is a perfect way to leverage individual donors who know, like, and trust your organization. It will strengthen the relationship you have with your supporters targeting donor retention and lapsed donors. 

An Annual Giving Campaign is a board-driven fundraising initiative, during a defined period, to secure unrestricted operating funds from individuals, while demonstrating the impact of a nonprofit’s mission.

Strategic in nature, an annual giving campaign requires planning and process. When implemented correctly, a successful campaign will:

  • Engage current Board members and donors;
  • Identify potential donors who can embrace your nonprofit’s mission;
  • Lay the groundwork for larger, major, and planned gifts.

At the end of this 90-minute recorded course on creating a fundraising plan, you will have the knowledge and tools to implement an Annual Giving Campaign for your nonprofit organization.
