Gathering Data to Develop Inclusive Engagement Strategies

Gathering Data to Develop Inclusive Engagement Strategies

Thursday March 9, 2023

10:00 A.M. - 11:30 P.M.

Inclusive philanthropy is authentically welcoming and engaging all individuals to participate in philanthropy and bringing new audiences and populations to volunteer and donor pipelines. This session will explore how to create “better practices” as it relates to the collection, storage, and use of identity data. We'll discuss the steps of creating and launching an identity collection effort, including security and database considerations, as well as constituent communications. We'll also explore how to analyze the data you've collected to pinpoint engagement gaps to inform how to refine and adjust your fundraising efforts to be more inclusive.
