  Topic: How to Use News to Deepen Donor Relationships

  The right information at the right time can lead to deeper relationships and more resources for your mission. Learn more about the value and ROI of news based information. This session will share a case study on how information found in the news led to a relationship connection and a stewardship action that prompted a $1 million gift that was not solicited. Learn how news information: 

  • Arms development teams with game-changing cultivation opportunities
  • Provides information for due diligence
  • Unlocks information about privately-held companies
