Prospect Development is the Engine Driving Fundraising! A comprehensive view of prospect development includes current and future constituents, non-donors, lapsed donors, and donors who have not reached their ultimate gift to your organization. To achieve greater results, it must break through organizational silos. It includes research, analytics, database management, engagement, and all fundraising activities. As a prospect development professional, can you, as a single practitioner or group of colleagues, control all these functions and activities? NO! However, through your diligent work and professionalism, you may lay a substantial foundation that supports greater fundraising ROI through gift maximization and programmatic efficiency. This webinar is all about best practices that you can adopt/adapt to prepare for ultimate giving success as collected and revised by a grizzled 40+ year veteran of nonprofit and higher education fundraising, who encourages you to bring your thoughts and questions to this discussion.* *Full participation is applicable for 1.0 points in Category 1.B -Education of the CFRE International application for initial certification and/or recertification.

In this webinar, we will explore why your organization should consider investing more time and resources into measuring engagement and share examples of how we have worked with a range of clients to incorporate engagement into their prospect management process at the appropriate level for their operation.* *Full participation is applicable for 1.0 points in Category 1.B -Education of the CFRE International application for initial certification and/or recertification
