SUMMARY:The Trust Factor: Why Nonprofits Can't Sleep on Marketing to Build a Foundation of Trust for Marketing Success | Presented by Julie Daubenmire\, Apryl Ash
DESCRIPTION:Register \nDonor recruitment and retention is built on a foundation of trust. Why? Because donors want and need to feel a personal connection to the cause\, and trust that it’s a credible organization putting their hard-earned time\, talent\, treasure and testimony to good use. \nThe reality is trust isn’t built overnight. And nonprofit fundraisers need to have a foundation of trust and credibility for an organization built to support direct outreach to potential donors. \nBuilding trust is a long-game\, and smart nonprofits will use a variety of communications and marketing channels to build the credibility needed to succeed in fundraising. This presentation will talk about best practices for nonprofit marketing in building credibility for organization awareness\, interest\, and ultimately donor action. \nAbout the speakers \nAs Client Experience Director at Approach Marketing\, Julie Daubenmire oversees a portfolio of nonprofit\, healthcare\, association\, education\, and cause-related clients to ensure PR\, marketing\, and digital tactics are all working together to communicate missions to stakeholders and ultimately\, drive organization goals. \nJulie graduated from the University of Dayton with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications and Public Relations\, and has a Masters of Public Administration from Ohio University. Prior to joining Approach\, Julie worked for the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio\, the Ohio Department of Education\, and Battelle for Kids.

SUMMARY:From Zero to Capital Campaign in Less than 5 Years- A Case Study for using major gifts techniques in a small shop setting  | Presented by Jodi Bopp\, Regina Alhassan
DESCRIPTION:From Zero to Capital Campaign in Less than 5 Years shares a case study of how one organization launched a philanthropy program with nothing and successfully concluded a $2-million\, 27-month capital campaign in less than five years. How? By relentlessly focusing on top prospects who had both capacity and desire to make a difference. Launching a major fundraising initiative – whether a capital campaign or otherwise – can be daunting. Too often\, organizations feel like they don’t have enough donors or other resources to successfully complete the work. But is that true? Through sharing one organization’s journey\, Regina Alhassan and Jodi Bopp will walk participants through how it is possible to go from zero to campaign relatively quickly. Participants will learn: \n\nHow to identify the tools you might already have in your toolbox of success\nThe value of research and customized engagement with the best prospects\nHow to look at your donor base in a potentially new way\nThe value of a gift table\n\nAbout the speaker: \nRegina Alhassan Is the CEO of ResearchPRO\, a leading authority in prospect development and fundraising strategies. With a proven track record in identifying billions of dollars in potential funding\, Regina is widely known as “Money” in the nonprofit sector due to her ability to help organizations achieve bold fundraising goals. Regina’s industry leadership spans two decades\, including her current role as a faculty member for Apra Fundamentals where she shares her knowledge and experience with the next generation of prospect development professionals. She is also a talented award-winning artist\, writer\, and philanthropist\, and has shared her insights on philanthropy as a TEDx Speaker. Regina’s passion for empowering nonprofit leaders and her commitment to making the science of fundraising accessible to all continue to make a significant impact in the industry. \nJodi Bopp is thrilled to be leading the Advancement Team at I Am Boundless\, Inc. With thirty years of experience working in non-profit philanthropy\, Jodi has helped raise millions of dollars in gifts which support a diverse array of missions. Jodi’s career started working in small shops for small and mid-size social service organizations. She also spent a little more than a decade in higher education fundraising\, learning the value and importance of working with individuals to maximize their philanthropic impact. Five years ago\, Jodi returned to social services and bringing with her the best practices from larger philanthropic organizations. Jodi is committed to the profession of non-profit fundraising\, and is called upon frequently as a speaker\, trainer and mentor to others in the profession. A multi-decade member of the Association of Fundraising Professionals\, Jodi served as the AFP Central Ohio Chapter President for two years\, and chaired numerous AFP committees throughout her time with the organization. Currently\, she’s leading an Executive Peer Cohort for the chapter. She achieved Certified Fund-Raising Executive status in 1997\, one of the youngest professionals in Central Ohio to do so. In 2013\, Jodi was named the Central Ohio AFP Fundraiser of the Year. Jodi passionately believes in the transformative power of philanthropy and takes great satisfaction in the opportunity to work with those who want to help others lead a boundless life.
