Meet Robin. She's here to help us prep for end of year giving, especially during an election year, during our first “minisode”. She has great advice about how to craft a clear message during a time with a lot of white noise. We work through the top questions you should ask yourself while preparing your year end giving campaign, and how you should be utilizing a multichannel communication approach this year.

Meet Shelley Danner. She's united her business acumen and passion for impact into a super cool project. Challenge Detroit offers paid fellowships to live, work - and hopefully stay - in the Motor City while pairing a job with nonprofit service. Challenge Detroit was founded in response to the exodus of young talent leaving Detroit and Michigan. Shelley shares how to leverage young professionals in your community and get them working on the frontlines to the improve their own community.

Gratitude will never be overstated nor should goodness be silenced. Grab a megaphone, a pen and paper, craft that immersive experience and embrace unparalleled levels of stewardship. Join Jonathan McCoy, CFRE and Becky Endicott, CFRE as they share tips to help you reimagine how you connect thank you + impact together in your donor experience.

Meet Ross. His thick Texas drawl and easy kindness will immediately put you at ease as we chat with this generous philanthropist. The self-professed big dreamer has a pure heart for giving, and is using his savvy know-how to inspire extraordinary generosity in others. He'll share how a $25M gift he and wife Billie made to their alma mater infused an arts Mecca in the middle of the Heartland (& flying the entire NY Philharmonic to Oklahoma!) and how the kindness of one frontline staff member inspired a $10M gift to name a cancer center in her honor at Baylor Scott & White Health. We're getting cozy during this Fireside Chat with a philanthropic legend. It's an inspiring story of how seeds of gratitude can grow early and how storytelling can pull it all together.
