Session: Inspiring your donors for a lifetime: The great big picture (and the deliciously effective details)

By all accounts, giving should be a golden experience. A lifetime experience. Filled with generosity and meaning, and the potential to do great good. Yet donors leave in droves, and a fundraiser can clear a room instantly just by announcing what they do for a living. Now the world is on fire. And just when we need fundraising and giving most, dispirited fundraisers are leaving in droves too. What’s the cure?

Unlock relationship fundraising like you’ve never seen it before: Join best-selling nonprofit authors and fundraising experts Ken Burnett and Lisa Sargent as they draw you into fresh concepts, the latest theory, and DNA-deep generosity principles, all backed by practical, tactical, deliciously effective real-world examples to help you reignite your passion for fundraising, inspire your donors, and keep them connected and giving for a lifetime.

Ken Burnett

Ken Burnett is an inspirational speaker and author of several books on donor development and communication, including all three editions of his best-seller, Relationship Fundraising, first published in 1992 and described by leading fundraising academic professor Adrian Sargeant as, “The most influential, beautifully written and warm text in fundraising.” Ken believes fundraising really can enrich the lives of donors, fundraisers and the people, issues and causes that together they transform, all around the world. But to do that, fundraisers first have to change fundraising itself.
