Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve heard that multichannel fundraising, i.e. enabling your donors to give via postal mail, your website, telemarketing, social media, etc. is the answer to all of your fundraising woes.
But what if you don’t have the budget or staff to focus on eight (or eighteen) different giving channels?
And, what if you are “firing on all cylinders” but you’re still not seeing magical multichannel results?
We can help!
Join us on Wednesday, June 29 from 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM ET for Multi-Channel Fundraising: Magic or Myth?
In this webinar, fundraising experts from Union of Concerned Scientists, Blackbaud and Care2 will analyze the most significant results of the newly released 2011 donorCentrics Internet and Multichannel Giving Benchmark Report. This report analyzes data from some of the biggest national nonprofits in the U.S. and includes transactions for over 15 million donors and $1 billion in revenue.
We’ll share the facts and fallacies about online giving. We’ll also talk about the importance of multichannel fundraising for your nonprofit. Finally, we’ll do our best to answer your questions, including:
- Online donors? So what and who cares?
- How can I leverage online and offline giving for better fundraising results?
- Where should I invest my limited budget?
This webinar is free but there are limited spaces. Please register now!
