  • Sixto Cancel, CEO of Think Of Us

The fundraising models that drive nonprofits were designed for a world that no longer exists. As a result many donors feel disconnected from the cause, and nonprofit teams feel siloed and ineffective.

Modern nonprofits are using responsive fundraising to put the donor at the center and grow giving through personalized donor journeys that respond to the needs of each individual. The responsive approach builds trust and loyalty through peronalized engagement.

Responsive nonprofits are turning the tide on donor retention and giving by:

  • Increasing giving by 30%
  • Increasing donor retention by 12%
  • Saving 20% in administrative staff time

But how do you begin. The Responsive Maturity Model provides clear, actionable building blocks for healthy, effective teams and increased giving. In this session you’ll learnthe 5 key shifts for your team, tactics, and technology to drive increased giving.

Top 3 Learning Objectives

  1. Learn the 5 steps to mature your digital donor engagement
  2. Actionable steps to better segment and communicate with donors
  3. Bridge the gap between your data, KPI’s, and impact

Erik Tomalis, Chief Evangelist + Director of Business Development, Erik Tomalis

Things are never going back to “the way it’s always been.” It’s time to embrace creative solutions, new business models, collaborative partnerships, and technology-driven strategies to enhance our impact and adapt to the evolving landscape of social change. It’s time to ask ourselves, “Is there a better way?” Tune in to this dynamic panel of experts for the playbook to help you feel equipped to evolve and advance your mission today.

  • Shereese Floyd, Founder of AI Consultants for Nonprofits
  • Scott Curran, CEO & Founder of Beyond Advisers
  • Iara Peng, Founder + CEO, JustFund

Improving your donor communication and driving team effectiveness are virtualy impossible if you don’t trust your data. Clean, complete, and easily accessible data is at the very core of a Responsive Team. Among other things, data health helps to:

  • Create confidence in your communication
  • Avoid embarrassing communication mistakes
  • Allow for team-wide visibility into (trusted) metrics
  • Create increased data coverage (contact info, attribution, project impact/funding, etc.)

In this conversation, we’ve gathered the leading nonprofit experts in data readiness to explore the key KPI’s every team should align to, best practices in data health and reporting, and the role technology plays to fundraise in the modern world.

  • Kieran Raval, Managing Director & Chief Solutions Officer, AmPhil
  • Devon Ironside, Director of Data & Technology, AmPhil

What does it really mean to optimize your online giving?

Raising more money online isn’t magic. It’s the result of optimizing your processes and platforms to get better and better results.

The choices you make about each element of the experience have the potential to inadvertently demotivate, confuse, or alienate your donors. Or, they can motivate donors and demonstrate the value of giving.

During this session, Stephen Boudreau offers quick advice for nonprofit leaders who want to grow online giving. With a combination of real-life critiques and the latest research, this session gives practical suggestions and the reasons you should try them.

Setting the right ask amount for a donor is the ultimate high-wire act. If you ask for too much you might alienate your donor. But if you ask for too little, you’ll raise less money for your mission.

So how do you set the perfect amount – not too high, and not too low?

Join Nic Prenger as he presents the latest research and proven strategies behind setting the perfect ask amount for each potential donor on your list.

Attendees will learn practical tips on how to set ask amounts, including:

  • Which data points are most important when setting ask amounts?
  • How much more will you raise with responsive ask amounts?
  • How much can you realistically expect to increase one person’s gift?
  • Should your pledge card include one-time ask amounts, recurring amounts, or both?
  • What’s the best way to use wealth research data when setting ask amounts?
  • What’s the best way to get started setting better ask amounts?

Nic Prenger, Chief Executive Officer, Prenger Solutions Group

For your nonprofit to succeed in the long run, it’s essential to unify your teams and integrate your data. One of the biggest barriers to breaking down silos within a nonprofit is the lack of centralized data. The fundraising, marketing, volunteer, and program teams often use different systems to track data—and nonprofit leaders struggle to gain a clear view of what’s actua ly happening across the organization. When data and software systems are not integrated, nonprofit departments can’t see how their work impacts other teams. This lack of visibility leads to missed insights, reduced team effectiveness, and a disconnected donor experience.

In this session, we’ll dive into the key reasons every nonprofit should integrate their software and data and how to get started today. Learn how to dimsantle barriers between your data and teams to create a culture of transparency and collaboration.

That’s a wrap on Day 1 of the Responsive Nonprofit Summit. Tune into this backstage conversation as we share the biggest moments and top takeaways learned throughout the day.

Times are listed in Pacific Time.

Kick off the morning by getting to know our sponsors and engaging with fellow attendees during our networking session.

Welcome back to Day 2 of the Responsive Nonprofit Summit!

  • Stephen Boudreau, VP of Brand & Community, Virtuous
  • Becky Endicott, Co-Founder, We Are For Good

Driving innovation at a nonprofit can often feel like a herculean task. As nonprofits grow, “institutional inertia” often sets in, and the status quo is protected as sacred. Processes begin to calcify, and risk-taking is discouraged. And, despite the increasing pace of change in the world around us, many nonprofits struggle to adapt quickly and maximize their impact.

Over the last 15 years, Gabe Cooper has had a front-row seat, observing thousands of nonprofit executives, fundraisers, and marketers as they navigate the challenges and triumphs associated with creating transformational change. He’s had the privilege of watching forward-thinking nonprofit leaders beat the odds and create outsized impact for their cause. And, after a decade and a half of seeing innovative nonprofits in action, he’s still blown away by leaders who are able to dream big and produce new forms of impact in their communities.

Gabe asks three questions about nonprofit innovations:

  1. How are the very best nonprofits continuing to drive increased generosity and innovation to tackle the world’s toughest challenges?
  2. Why are the top nonprofits succeeding where others fail?
  3. What are the key inhibitors of innovation and change in the nonprofit space? And how can these inhibitors be overcome?

After years of listening and research, Gabe will share the eight core practices for responsive nonprofit innovation, and the tactical advice to begin implementing change.

Each of these eight practices represents a pressure-tested best practice for innovation. And while the practices themselves may seem relatively simple, they are not easy. Driving increased generosity, embracing innovation, and building healthy teams requires hard work. But it is possible! And this session will provide a roadmap for innovation within your organization.

  • Gabe Cooper, CEO of Virtuous

How can we flip the downward trend of individual gifts into something good? We live in a subscription economy that’s projected to grow to $1.5 trillion by 2025!

Takeaways:

  • 5 steps to building a successful monthly donor program
  • How to do a self-audit of your existing platform
  • Unconventional donor acquisition and retention strategies to stand out!
  • Dana Snyder, CEO and Founder, Positive Equation

Responsive nonprofits take innovative and holistic approaches to transforming our sector—and it starts with our people.

Nonprofit leaders are responsible for aligning the mission, engaging stakeholders, making ethical decisions, and fostering innovation—all while grappling to solve complex social issues.

The task is daunting, particularly for the heart-wired humans who work in social good. All too often, we neglect our personal needs for “the greater good,” not realizing that our lack of well-being makes us and our team less effective.

Tune into this panel of experts to get advice on combating burnout, recognizing signs of perfectionism, and how we can show up as our whole selves to our work to advance our missions.

  • Diaris Alexander, Anti-Burnout Strategist & Impact Architect to mission-driven leaders
  • Carolina Garcia Jayaram, CEO, The Elevate Prize Foundation
  • Virginia Almendarez, Founder, Fund Strategy
  • Jonah Nigh, Senior Vice President for Development and Alumni Engagement, The New School

One of the biggest barriers to shared donor insights and shared goals within a nonprofit is the lack of centralized data.

More often than not, the Fundraising, Marketing, Volunteer, and Program teams use completely different software and tools to track their data — and nonprofit leaders struggle to fully understand how constituents are interacting with different parts of the organization.

Are you ready to solve for the unintended consequences of process and data silos? Does your nonprofit struggle to see how internal data impacts other teams?

Introducing: Generosity Operations—the way innovative nonprofits are structuring their teams to achieve:

  • A clear view of metrics to align teams around common goals
  • Sharing insights that help optimize the donor journey
  • A strategy for scaling innovation and learnings across your nonprofit

Human-centered design helps organizations co-create solutions shoulder-to-shoulder with their community by asking questions to unearth the community’s true needs and desires. And, importantly, it helps nonprofit leaders see past the obvious symptoms of the problem and instead focus on upstream systemic solutions.

For nonprofits, human-centered design represents a more empathetic approach to fundraising and program design. in today’s rapidly evolving world it has become a cornerstone of successful innovation for many leading nonprofits.

Learn how innovative nonprofits are adopting human-centered design and how you can start today to create a donor-centric framework to grow giving.

Nonprofits are amazing and full of servant leaders. These nonprofiteers deliver life-changing programs, research, and more to impact and uplift communities. In this social impact work, we tend to serve others before ourselves. The result? Our personal health and the health of our organizations suffer.

The dialogue around health has been shifting. Yet the myriad global experiences since 2020 have demonstrated the health necessary to truly change the world. Nonprofiteers are taking stock of what they value most. Recent research shows three-fourths will be looking for new work this year.

This real, honest, timely conversation will deconstruct the misconceptions of servant-leadership. Together we will explore practical ways to dive into servant-leader healing: for ourselves, our organizations, and, when necessary, our relationship with supporters.

Traditionally, nonprofits have leveraged direct response fundraising tactics that send the same email or mail piece to every donor at the same time. This one-to-many approach to fundraising can feel incredibly impersonal (everyone gets the same thing!), but these campaigns are also largely based on the nonprofit’s timing and not the donor’s timing.

On the other hand, dynamic campaigns are based on each individual’s behavior and timing. Instead of receiving an email or letter at exactly the same time as everyone else—donors receive individualized campaigns based on their own behavior, persona, or intent. Not surprisingly, this personalized approach consistently leads to higher retention, engagement, and average gifts.

Join this session to unlock the keys to how dynamic campaigns drive donor engagement and are turning the tide on donor retention.

85% of volulnteers will go on to donate to the nonprofits they give their time to. Your committed team of volunteers are some of your organization’s greatest advocates and supporters. While they donate their time and skills to your cause, they can also make generous monetary donations as well.

However, it can be a balancing act to ensure you aren’t asking too much of your supporters. Since volunteers already invest in your nonprofit, turning volunteers into donors is a natural next step.

Fostering meaningful engagement with existing volunteers through good management, communications, and activities will deepen commitment to your cause. This increases the likelihood of converting them into donors along the way.

That said, investing in an exceptional volunteer engagement strategy will set your organization up for long-term success.

In this session, we’ll discuss the powerful strategies you can adopt to help turn your volunteers into donors.

It’s time to name the elephant in the room: Retention. But we aren’t just talking about retaining our donors—the greatest retention issue that isn’t talked about enough is the retention of our nonprofit staff.

After all, if our staff isn’t compelled to stay, why should our donors?
