Predictive Fundraising, Donor Identity, and the Nonprofit of 2030: Inside GiveCon with Bloomerang CMO Ann Fellman
Q: What would you tell nonprofits to focus on right now as they plan for end-of-year campaigns after GiveCon?
Engage donors through storytelling and gather fresh stories from a small, representative group to craft resonant narratives; test messages with friendly audiences, and use data-driven storytelling to guide end-of-year campaigns rather than relying on broad, generic appeals.
Predictive Fundraising, Donor Identity, and the Nonprofit of 2030: Inside GiveCon with Bloomerang CMO Ann Fellman
Q: Can you share a little more about the partnership with Dataro and how predictive donor intelligence will work within Bloomerang?
The partnership will surface donor signals—who's at risk of lapsing, who's ready for the next gift, and where upgrades are possible—directly inside Bloomerang, enabling more precise, proactive fundraising decisions and next-step asks.
Predictive Fundraising, Donor Identity, and the Nonprofit of 2030: Inside GiveCon with Bloomerang CMO Ann Fellman
Q: I was just reading about Coach's marketing strategy for Gen Z and how brands reposition at the brand level. Any thoughts on how this idea of constant adaptation applies to nonprofit marketing?
Ann explains that nonprofits should focus on authentic, human-centered storytelling and direct engagement with donors, using data to validate what resonates with different donor personas, rather than chasing every trend. The emphasis is on concrete examples and rapid alignment between marketing insights and program needs.
From Voice to Velocity: Visibility Through Thought Leadership with Dion Dawson (MGS Main Stage Session)
Q: What is the most important factor to keep organizations from failing to grow thought leadership?
Focus on clarity and consistency in messaging, and build a sustainable system that keeps the story alive beyond big moments, so relationships, not campaigns, drive growth.
The $50 Million Vote of Confidence: How MacKenzie Scott's Gift Is Fueling Native Forward's Boldest Chapter Yet with Angelique Albert
Q: What were the major inflection points in Native Forward's leadership and strategy?
Angelique describes moving from a program-focused predecessor to a strategist-led approach, with renewed emphasis on fundraising, marketing, and defining infrastructure needs; the second big shift came with scaling marketing and leveraging transformational capital after the MacKenzie Scott gift.
