Donor Recognition: Trash or Treasure?

Too often, organizations waste money that could otherwise be spent on their mission or better ways to increase donor gifts. Drawing lessons from the book Donor Centered Fundraising by Penelope Burk, personal experience, and local donor surveys and interviews, John will discuss the effectiveness of various kinds of donor recognition for corporate and individual donors. Look for a surprisingly honest discussion of what works and what doesn’t.
