Nurturing the Gift of New Donors

In a world turned upside down by COVID-19, new donors are stepping up to help our valued nonprofits address challenges within our community. Missoula Gives saw an outpouring of support this year; the community raised almost double the funds from 2019 despite 30 fewer organizations participating. 53% of these donors identified as new donors to an organization. Statistics would tell us that we risk losing four out of every five of these new donors. Join us to learn about best practices for donor retention and hear from a diverse panel of Missoula development professionals on what works to keep new givers connected with your organization. Bring your best ideas and join your Missoula Gives and Missoula Nonprofit Center colleagues for a lively panel Q&A and open discussion about these important stewardship practices.  

Panelists:

• Dorcie Kafka Dvarishkis - Former Executive Director, Foundation for Community Health

• Ramey Kodadek - Annual Campaign Director, Five Valleys Land Trust

• Bill Mathews…
