How does this topic address the needs or interests of gift planners?
Many Planned Giving officers work for an institution that has an effective annual fund. Learning how to utilize the annual fund as a resource for Planned Giving donor prospects improves the effectiveness of a Planned Giving program.
Similarly, many Annual Fund managers understand the need to raise money. By knowing how to generate donor loyalty and to identify the best Planned Giving prospects in their database, they will become an integral part of the Planned Giving program.
Specifically, working together helps to identify qualified Planned Giving Donor prospects; increases the number of donor visits for Planned Giving officers, reduces unproductive time spent on non-qualified prospects, increases the return on investment of the annual fund, and increases donor affinity.

| The close of the calendar year and the upcoming holidays is always a good time to look back and evaluate what worked really well in our fundraising programs…as well as those areas that remain challenging. Were our boards more engaged? Did we diversity our donor base? Did special events attract new donors? Has social media translated into awareness and then givers or are we still searching for new ways to make this work? Is it easier or harder to find and retain good fundraising talent? Have world events, and the globalization of fundraising made it more attractive and successful to do international fundraising? We shall cover all these topics and give insights and predictions into what we can expect, 2012 and beyond.
In this session:
- Examine what fundraising techniques and programs we should hold on to and grow, as well as those that should take less priority;
- Analyze current fundraising trends and surveys to shed light on what lies ahead in our fundraising years;
- Embrace the challenges we have encountered and provide solutions going forward on how we can improve our fundraising programs and time management involved with these tasks;
- Suggest fresh approaches for our "main-stay" fundraising programs and add new and creative ways we can engage constituencies so that we have sources of new funding

AFP Refund Policy for Education Programs
A refund charge of twenty percent of the registration fee will be assessed for any AFP education session that is canceled as we are incurring registration and cancellation charges for each.
A registration fee for a Web/Audioconference session may be transferred to another session or archive product one time with no penalty within the same calendar year. Archive products include download and handouts for any past program (or future program that will occur in the same calendar year.)
There is no refund for the bundled priced programs. You may transfer a program one time to another program, download or CD. Any program, download or CD purchased individually is priced at the $159/ member rate and $295/nonmember rate. |
