    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.

    Determining capacity has long been the anchor of a prospect researcher’s role. We would argue that measuring engagement is equally critical to prospect prioritization and solicitation; it is also an important strategy for a more inclusive approach to Advancement and a way that we, prospect management professionals, can contribute to a more equitable sector. 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

    While large organizations often benefit from numerous staff members focused on prospect development, many other organizations have few, if any, staff members dedicated to this critical function. During this panel, we will hear from some of those organizations and learn how they prioritize their time, communicate with leadership, and make the most of available resources.

She also saw professionals who were resourceful, creative, resilient, and relentless in their pursuit of social justice.

    With Ashley’s working knowledge of nonprofits, experience with fundraising, and technical savvy, she is afforded the privilege of working with CRMs and consultants who are on the cutting edge of data-driven fundraising. 

    When she stepped into a leadership role at a residential treatment facility, it was clear that there was much to learn more about the dynamic, far-reaching nonprofit sector. Ashley studied and graduated the University of San Diego’s master’s program for Nonprofit Management and Leadership. There, she worked with local nonprofits to develop fundraising plans, consult on board member duties, write budgets, and develop bylaws.

    Ashley is a big-picture thinker with an eye on charitable giving trends. 
    She has witnessed first-hand the power of wealth intelligence to help nonprofit organizations reach their fundraising goals.

From strategies to identify tribal philanthropic interests and giving capacity to historical and ethical considerations when working with tribes, this session will empower researchers and position institutions to better navigate relationships and fundraising with tribal nations in the US. Drawing upon the presenter's insights as an Osage tribal citizen and the University of Oklahoma Foundation's long-standing relationships with tribal nations in Oklahoma, attendees will learn about historical and contemporary tribal-federal relations that have economically positioned tribes where they are today, unique legal and business phenomenon that can be leveraged to identify tribal wealth and philanthropic indicators, and ethical and cultural factors that may illuminate pathways to connecting with tribes.

    Do you ever feel like you are drowning in projects? Do you often struggle to say "no" to taking on more? This is the path to burnout and unmet expectations. But don't fret! You can manage the volume and become a savvy negotiator while centering employee wellness. In three years, UNICEF USA honed a scrum-based agile project management approach to manage increasing workloads. With origins in software development, we tailored what worked for us: we created an integrated project management board in Trello, organized two-week "sprints", and customized "rituals" allowing us to purposefully plan and track our project work. In our third year, we set a data-driven KPI and dashboarded our expected vs. actual workload. This incentivizes individual accountability to not take too much on. When urgent projects emerge, we can assess bandwidth and are empowered with tools to deprioritize other projects. This approach provides greater visibility and collaboration opportunities across research, relationship management, data science, and campaign planning teams and integrates mindfulness techniques critical to our team culture. Let us help you maintain your sanity by learning about how to make project management more manageable.
