DonorPerfect To Hold Free Nonprofit CommUNITY Conference

DonorPerfect, a donor management and fundraising platform for nonprofits, will host its virtual CommUNITY Conference Oct. 5 and 6. The free event will explore how organizations can move from tired transactional fundraising tactics to transformational fundraising strategies that focus on building relationships.

Sessions include:

• “From Transaction to Transformational: 5 Steps to Human-Focused Fundraising” presented by Mallory Erickson, executive coach, Fundraising Consultant
• “Donor Acquisition Strategies to Adopt in 2022” presented by Meredith Sossman, senior consultant with plannedgiving.com
• “Strategies for Engaging Racially & Culturally Diverse Donors” panel hosted by keynote speaker Tycley Williams, chief development officer of America’s Promise Alliance
• “Community-Based Fundraising” hosted by the Oregon Food Bank

“This year’s conference will focus on the seismic shifts going all around us, including the world of philanthropy, Robbe Healy, founding member of Aurora Philanthropic Consulting and host of the conference, said in a statement. "Donors have redefined their expectations. They seek more than a call for donations. They’re no longer satisfied with run-of-the-mill roles like 'funder' or 'volunteer.' Donors want a relationship with the nonprofits embracing the causes they care about; they want to be part of a community of change. This conference will show nonprofits how to change the way they engage to match the times.”
