Description

In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, Amy Eisenstein and Andrea Kihlstedt share expert tips on how nonprofit staff, board members, and key leaders can make the most of donor events. Too often, staff members stick together, leaving guests feeling disconnected. Instead, events should be an opportunity to strengthen relationships and move fundraising forward.

Listen in as Amy and Andrea cover essential strategies, including:

  • How to prepare before an event, including setting goals and identifying key donors to engage
  • Practical ways to make guests feel welcome and included
  • How to introduce donors to one another to foster deeper connections
  • Why follow-up is just as important as the event itself—and how to do it right'

If your team has ever struggled with feeling awkward or unsure about engaging donors at events, this episode will give you the tools to turn casual conversations into lasting relationships.
