DONOR ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIES: Inviting New Supporters Into Your Mission

DONOR ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIES
Inviting New Supporters Into Your Mission

Session two of our free four-part GROWING YOUR GIVING COMMUNITY fundraising program, this workshop will help you raise more money by crafting compelling invitations and multiple "landing places" that will bring new people into your mission at any level of engagement.

Designed for staff and board members engaged in fundraising, this interactive session will give you practical strategies that deepen relationships and expand your circle of engaged, passionate supporters.

We'll address the common hesitation around asking for money and explore a biblical understanding of giving as transformation—for both giver and receiver. Through real-world examples and group discussion, you'll share your own successes in acquiring new donors while developing invitation and engagement strategies that feel authentic and God-honoring. You'll learn to create meaningful entry points that can deepen over time, whether someone gives $25 or $25,000, volunteers monthly, or simply shares your story.

Part of our four-part GROWING YOUR GIVING COMMUNITY series, but designed to deliver value whether you attend one session or all four.

This free workshop will be led by Julie Kouri, a long-time nonprofit leader, advisor, and coach with experience designing and leading multiple kinds of large and small fundraising events. The former Founder and long-time Executive Director of Fostering Hope, and now the Executive Director of Good Works Community, Julie understands well how to lead a faith-based nonprofit organizations, and how to connect deeply with and minister to donors. Julie is also certified in the national Christian fundraising program developed by Mission Increase, and serves as the Central Texas regional director for Mission Increase.

NOTE: Free trainings are designed specifically for current staff and board members of nonprofit organizations. We kindly ask that consultants and for-profit professionals connect with us directly to explore other ways to engage.
