How to Build a Better Appeal

Presented by: Abby Jarvis, Nonprofit Education Manager

Your donors don’t read your appeal letters. At least not right away! In this session, you’ll learn what donors look for before they read your appeal letter and how to draw them in using the items they scan for.

You’ll also learn tips on how to use storytelling, unique points of view, and familiar language to keep your donors engaged with your content.

Q&A with the Fundraising Lab Speakers

Presented by: Jennifer Mansfield, VP of Customer Experience

Have questions on hosting a virtual event or want to see some tips & tricks on how other nonprofits have successfully transitioned their events? In this live Q&A session, our Fundraising Lab speakers will help guide you through the challenges you’re facing.
