Knowing and understanding their generational tendencies (i.e. Matures\, Baby Boomers\, Generation X\, Millennials\, and Generation Z) is one way to help build stronger relationships.\nLearn the characteristic differences between each generation and how to build upon those in your development and communications plan implementation. Develop your events to target audiences and segment your appeals to speak the language of your donors. For example\, why send a direct mail piece to a Millennial\, if they don’t have a checkbook? We will talk about social media platforms too\, and how to effectively boost your donor engagement.\nOur world keeps changing and as nonprofit organizations we need to be nimble and continue to adjust our approach\, staying true to the fundamental rule of fundraising: it’s all about the people.\nYou will leave this workshop with: \n\nKnowledge about each of the five generations and their tendencies to apply to your own donor data\nFundraising strategies to address each generation in a targeted way\nNew ideas on how to engage your audience through different social media platforms\, with a generational lens\nReasons why personalizing and segmenting your donor development and communications activities by generation will yield deeper relationships with your donors.\n\nAll sessions take place Tuesdays from 12:00pm to 1:00pm Pacific Time. All sessions will be recorded and the recordings will be made available to all registered participants. Participants who are unable to attend one or more of the sessions will still have access to all course materials.\nAbout the Presenter:\nRebecca Zanatta\, Partner & Vice President\, Ostara Group\nRebecca loves philanthropy. She has spent her career in nonprofit management teaching people the value of relationships. Her philosophy focuses on people and putting the why first. Spending time with family and seeking adventure through travel is where you will find her when she isn’t trying to better the world through the power of philanthropy.\nParticipating in community is an important value of Rebecca’s work.

Carol will offer tips that you can use immediately and share the secrets of successful planned giving programs. Are you looking for sustainable fundraising? Do you want a methodology that takes approximately $.03-$.10 to raise a dollar? If you are just starting a planned giving program\, you’ll learn how to get the troops trained and ready to go. If you have an established program and want to grow it\, you will learn how to grow it exponentially. 65% of all Americans don’t have an estate plan or will. Don’t let your supporters be part of the 35%.\nCarol Weisman founded Board Builders in 1994. She does keynotes\, board retreats and teaches board members around the world how to fundraise. Carol has served on 39 boards and has been president of eight. She is finishing her 10th and 11th books\, which focus on planned giving. Becoming One of the Grateful Dead: Where There’s a Will There’s a Way is for donors. It features people from all walks of life who are making a difference in this world and the next. Her other book is for nonprofit leaders. Planned Giving Basics: The Why the Who and the How shares down-to-earth advice on the specifics of how to ask\, who to ask first\, and the words to use. Raising Charitable Children has been featured in the NY Times\, Parade Magazine\, Scholastic Parent and Child Magazine\, and though she wrote it in 2006\, was in Money Magazine last year. Few things get Carol more excited than teaching board members that everyone in the room can be happily and productively involved in the fundraising process. Carol has two major goals in life: do a cartwheel again by age 70 and return to her pre-baby weight before her son’s fast approaching 40th birthday. \n\nClick for more information about our speakers.\nTO REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT PLEASE VISIT:\nThe St. Louis Planned Giving Council Calendar of Events
