Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

After 2,000 Galas, Here's What Actually Makes Donors Give More | Rob Giardinelli
Q: How should nonprofits think about messaging to both attract attendees and drive donations?
Use macro messaging to bring people in with a compelling event or entertainer, and couple that with micro messaging in the room that speaks directly to donors about why their support matters, including showing you've done homework on their interests.
After 2,000 Galas, Here's What Actually Makes Donors Give More | Rob Giardinelli
Q: What has changed about donor behavior since COVID, and how should nonprofits adapt their galas to those changes?
Donors are more selective with their time and want clarity on where their money goes; nonprofits should deliver a strong guest experience, tailor messaging to the audience, and ensure multiple revenue streams beyond the gala to stay adaptable.
Build and Grow Your Donor Pipeline With Intentional Fundraising Events
Q: What are some key tactics for retaining donors after events?
Maintain frequent, meaningful stewardship, personalize follow-up by donor preference and generation, keep donors informed about the impact of their gifts, and implement a donor management plan to keep the relationship alive beyond the event itself.
Build and Grow Your Donor Pipeline With Intentional Fundraising Events
Q: What does the guest see as a practical path for building a major gifts pipeline through events?
Incorporate cultivation events that bring researchers and high-level board members to engage major donors, then segue into larger galas, while also supporting smaller, targeted gatherings that expand the donor base and personalize the donor experience.
Build and Grow Your Donor Pipeline With Intentional Fundraising Events
Q: How can events be designed to be both entertaining and effective at fundraising?
By asking the community what they find fun, layering different engagement elements, and ensuring activities align with donor interests and the organization's mission, including live auctions, after parties, and tiered experiences to accommodate various price points.
