Philanthropy and fundraising is evolving, on many fronts. What does this mean for your charity? Donors of all ages are getting digital, major donors are considering impact investing and crowdfunding continues to surge. Where will charities and fundraising land in this changing landscape? How are advisors playing a vastly growing role in philanthropy? Where does your organization fit into current Canadian giving trends and strategy? How can you adjust and amplify your ask to take advantage of demographics, technology and social response to philanthropic needs? We will review a number of Canadian resources and data, then discuss how to adapt to today’s donor and funder landscape recognizing that we have limited time, resources and capacity. You will leave with a better understanding of where we are as a sector, as a community here in Saskatoon and where you need to adjust your fundraising strategy for the year to come.
Who should attend:
- EDs and board will gain insight into philanthropic trends for organizational strategy
- Finance staff will learn about advanced donation receipting and administration
- Staff tasked with fundraising will learn about the most important diversification of revenue – asset-based giving
FREE to attend, thanks to the support of Miller Thomson, Canadian Association of Gift Planners, and Saskatoon Community Foundation
Refreshments will be served
