Fundraising and volunteer programs have more in common than you might think: both are built on strong, authentic relationships. In this interactive session, we’ll explore the fundamentals of fundraising and how volunteer professionals can be valuable partners in their organization’s fundraising efforts. We’ll walk through the donor journey, from identifying and cultivating supporters to solicitation and stewardship, and identify practical ways volunteer managers can help deepen relationships, connect people more closely to the mission, and build a stronger community of supporters.
