Online Class 

 

Is your idea of stewardship limited to sending a thank you letter to donors? If so, you might be missing out on the full potential of this very important process. Creating long-term, trustful relationships with donors is critical to fundraising, especially major gift fundraising. These types of relationships are built only when an organization understands that the conventional definition and practice of stewardship (as in, merely sending out thank you letter in a timely fashion) is insufficient. Kristina Carlson, President of FundraisingINFO.com, will be presenting an online class entitled "Turning Donors into Permanent Passionate Supporters." The class will discuss the role of stewardship in building and maintaining the kinds of relationships with donors that lead to major gifts and what role the Internet can play in the process. Go to ePhilanthropy Foundation to find out more.
