The year-end season is the most critical giving season for nearly every nonprofit organization. Over the course of 31 days, many organization will bring in 30% or more of their annual online revenue with up to 46% of that coming in during the last week of December alone.
With so much on the line, how do you create an online year-end fundraising campaign that reaches the right donors, at the right time, with the right message – and brings in donations?
During this workshop, you’ll learn all of the essential ingredients needed for a successful year-end campaign, as well as ideas on how to optimize each component based on data, research, and learnings from thousands of online fundraising experiments.
Your value proposition is the backbone of your fundraising. And contrary to what you may think, a strong value proposition is not simply just your mission or vision statement.

This workshop will cover every aspect of crafting an effective value proposition including:
During the workshop, you’ll discover tested and proven tactics that innovative nonprofits are using every day to align their messaging with motivations of their donors and unleash greater giving.

Life is a series of decisions. Should I get married? Should I take this job? Do I feel that this conference will be a good use of my time? Sadly, most of us don’t really understand how we make decisions. And neither do your donors. This talk will help you better understand why you do the things you do, and equip you with ways you can positively influence your donors to be more generous to your cause.
Imagine a wizard who – with a simple flick of his wand – makes all your visitors realize the value of your activities and turns them into happy, loyal donors.
In his keynote, Bart will explain how to evolve into this wizard yourself. Take your next step in digital marketing and grow from a digital data & CRO-driven fundraiser to one driven by the magical wit of behavioural psychology and its wisdom building methods.

One of the most underserved segments of the fundraising space is the mid-level donor, usually those that give between $1,000 and $10,000 per year. In many programs, these donors are excluded from broad-based campaigns and are not quite large enough to warrant the attention of the major gifts officers. But aren’t they too valuable to ignore?
Courtney Gaines will share some techniques that almost any organization can use to bridge this gap and then lead a discussion on the mid-level donor and how ach of our organizations are addressing this problem.

Can money make you happy? Our research suggests that it can – if you give it away. Encouraging people to spend on others makes those people happier than spending on themselves. In addition, the positive impact of behaving charitably can improve employee satisfaction and job performance. Professor Norton will discuss how his research should change the way organizations think about incentivizing employees and how we should think about spending our own money.
