THE COMING OF AGE OF THE GEN-X DONOR – October 11, 2023
Baby boomers are today’s big givers, and millennials offer the promise of large donations a few decades from now. But the 66 million Americans in between are often neglected by fundraisers - and that’s a mistake. By looking at data, unique cultural and historic influences, and “what works” case studies, learn what people born from 1965 to 1980 — Generation X — want from the charities they support and how to meet their needs.

SOCIAL IMPACT STORYTELLING – October 18, 2023
History has shown that stories are inextricably linked to what it means to be human. Before there was formal communication, there were stories. It should come as no surprise, then, that social movements and organizations like nonprofits, foundations, and socially responsible businesses are now working to leverage stories as a strategic tool to advance important missions. Effective stories are powerful because they drive action: spurring donations, mobilizing supporters, and more. By building emotional connections, stories bring to life the work of the issues we care so much about in ways that other forms of communication cannot touch. In this workshop, learn how changemakers can harness the power of effective storytelling for strategic benefit.
