About this session: Your annual appeals don't have to be the thing that goes bump in the night. Spend your Halloween morning learning to avoid a ghoulish response to your appeal by learning industry best practices, applying tips to increase readership, and convert lapsed and non-donors to financial supporters of your cause. We'll discuss annual fund goal setting, donor segmentation, strengthening your writing to appeal to individual donors, and begin planning and outlining your next appeal letter together. This workshop is ideal for those who have a busy holiday giving season and want to take their annual appeal to the next level of donor engagement.
