Charities’ dependence on wealthy donors is growing as giving at lower levels ebbs. While the size of a major gift may vary depending on the organization, raising large donations from individuals is increasingly vital for most nonprofits.

How are big-gift fundraisers successfully cultivating donors? What strategies are working best in the current climate to attract support from wealthy individuals?

Join us to learn directly from fundraising leaders about their outlook for 2024 and how to connect with major donors in the year ahead.

Whether you want to attract new donors or inspire greater giving among current supporters, this 75-minute webinar brings you two individual giving experts sharing their best approaches that you can apply to raise more to support your mission.

You’ll learn:

• How to inspire donors to give generously
• Ways to use data, wealth screening, and technology to find clues about donor prospects
• Steps to take to move a donor from a modest gift to a substantial contribution with long-term impact
