ROUNDTABLE - Are You Ready For Major Gifts?

This panel discussion will help you determine what staffing model is best to successfully inspire major gifts and build long-lasting relationships with major donors.  Troy Arnold, Joel Evans and Barbara Kimport will share their experience working in and with organizations which have secured gifts from major donors both with and without dedicated major gifts staff.

The panelists will explore:

What are the best practices to effectively manage major donors if you don’t have dedicated major gifts staff?

How will the culture of your organization and board support a major gifts program? If the culture needs to change, how will/can that happen?

What systems should you build to support major gifts fundraising?

How do you know when it’s time to add dedicated major gifts staff?

How do you set up newly added major gifts staff members for success?

How do you measure success in either staffing scenario?

The presentation will start with a discussion among the panelists and then be opened to questions from attendees, with the aim of having a lively conversation with everyone present.

Maximum attendance is capped at 25 people.
