Oh the Places You'll Go! Practical Advice on the Development Career Journey
Today, the field of development is in many ways a very different place, with greater value being placed on graduate education, innate skills, applied technology and sound donor relations skills. Given this increasingly professionalized and competitive environment, what are the prospects for those who wish to move within the development field? What development specific information does one need to know that isn't always covered by the job search websites and books?
This workshop will focus on career exploration and job search strategies such as informational interviewing, networking, and conveying one's professional self. This workshop is designed for individuals considering a career change or progression in development, current professionals interested in enhancing their knowledge base, and administrators who wish to understand the experiences and perspectives of potential future staff.
Creative Thank Yous and Cultivating an Attitude of Gratitude
Most nonprofits are leaking donors like crazy. They acquire; they don’t retain. On average folks lose 8 out of 10 donors after the first gift. While donors want to change the world with their gifts, most want something else too. It’s intangible, but it’s important. And if you won’t give it to them, someone else will. The important social acknowledgement and identity reinforcement that comes from a heartfelt, thoughtful thank you cannot be underestimated. Truly, how and when you thank your donors can make or break your entire fundraising program.
Social Media and Donor Relations, a Strategy for Success
The document provides guidance on using social media for donor relations. It recommends listening to donors on social media platforms like Facebook before responding to understand their interests and concerns. The document also stresses the importance of calendar reminders to engage donors through social media by marking important dates.
When I'm Dead and Gone: Planned Giving Stewardship
Ideally, you should engage legacy donors even before they've made their gift commitment. Building an intentional bond with deferred giving donors improves your chances of receiving more support now, as well as the potential for increased legacy gifts. Learn how to develop a simple, yet strategic donor relations program for your planned giving donors that will build a lasting relationship now that will lead to greater support in the future.
Eat, Pray, Give: An Exploration of Generosity
The Dalai Lama said, "Once a year, go someplace you've never been before." The donor guru lives by that very directive. Join Lynne as she tours you through a world of culture and custom. See how gratitude and giving manifest globally. Here we will discuss cultural mores and work to understand the expanding world is flat phenomenon of global giving. From Italy, Singapore, Bali, Israel and more, take a journey into the heart of generosity.
How to be Like Martin Scorsese
You don’t need a big budget and Leonardo DiCaprio to make a good video. In today’s media age, people are more likely to watch a video than they are to read a communication. While some development shops are leading the charge with full-time on-staff videographers, unfortunately too many are underutilizing this effective communication vehicle. In this practical session Lynne shares video samples and discusses how to personalize video for target audiences using inexpensive and easy-to-learn tools of the trade.
Telling the Untold Story of Unrestricted Impact
So many of us do a great job telling the impact of scholarship funds on our organizations. We tell sweeping stories of the impact of a new building. But how do we tell the story of unrestricted or annual fund donors, those which we know are the most important but whose gifts we don’t steward well. Regardless of gift size, today’s annual fund donors expect more than a gift receipt acknowledging their contribution. Donors are looking to see the impact their philanthropy, and including the collective resources of the annual fund, are having on the institution. As we recognize that retaining donors is essential for long-term success, creating robust stewardship programs for your annual fund gifts across all levels is mission critical. In this session, we will explore the various messages and channels that have proven to be effective stewardship as we work to keep these donors engaged.
Building the Donor Pipeline
This document provides contact information for Lynne Wester, a donor relations expert, and encourages connecting with her on LinkedIn and Twitter to learn about building a donor pipeline. It lists Lynne Wester's email and website and the name of her LinkedIn group for further engagement on the topic of donor relations.
Donor Retention Isn't Speed Dating
The concept behind speed dating is to meet as many people as possible as quickly as possible—and 99% of them you’ll never see again. Actually, that’s not too far off from the statistic that 80% of donors never make a second gift. So what can you do to develop a successful donor relations program, what works and what doesn’t, and how can you improve your retention rate? Learn how to form a lasting relationship with your donors.

Getting to an empty inbox is possible by using folders to organize emails by topic or project, solving subscription issues that contribute to inbox clutter, and following a five sentence rule when writing emails to keep responses brief. Maintaining an empty inbox requires celebrating small victories and continuing good organizational practices.
2015 naydo individualstewardship
Individual stewardship plans should include key details like who will manage the donor's portfolio, how communication will be delivered, and basic donor information. The plan should also outline the donor's giving history, preferences, and event information. It is important to include forward-looking information, gift agreement requirements, past efforts, important dates and names, and glean information from contact reports. Creating a system that delivers content strategically and sets goals can help ensure seamless delivery and that promises to donors are over-delivered. The right format depends on what fits best for each individual plan.

This document provides tips for transforming an annual donor report into an impact report that tells your organization's story in an engaging way. It recommends including interactive elements, highlighting a case study, using photos and stories of the people helped, and giving donors credit for the impact by placing them at the center of the report. The goal is to move beyond dry financial data and instead focus on how donor contributions created meaningful change through the organization's work over the past year.

Drg2015 pipeline
Building a strong donor pipeline requires identifying new potential donors beyond current supporters. While current donors are important, expanding the pool of potential donors is necessary for sustained fundraising success over time. New prospects must be found and cultivated through research and outreach to grow a robust donor base.
2015 winthropannual
This document provides guidance for donor relations for annual giving donors. It emphasizes treating donors as individuals rather than transactions, and stresses the importance of using imaginative communications to inspire donors. It also lists several reports that are important to have to understand donor behavior and retention, such as giving history, lapsed donors, and increases in donations over time. The overall message is to focus on the donor experience rather than just acquiring donations.
2015 ymcagratitude
Gratitude is an important part of organizational culture that can help nonprofits. Nonprofits should express gratitude to donors regularly through personal notes, thank you calls, and impact reports. Building a culture of gratitude helps nonprofits retain donors and raise more support over time.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
