Thanking Donors – a Six Month Update of the Impact of COVID on Donor Relations
February 3, 2021 @ 11:30 am - 12:30 pm
| $10 – $15Heurista and Eleven Fifty Seven collaborated in March 2020 to survey donor relations professionals to identify the immediate effects of the COVID-19 stay-at-home regulations on the work of thanking donors and to forecast anticipated changes in donor relations practice. The survey questions explore the role of technology with regards to team function, communication with and about donors, the impact on donor recognition and stewardship at large, and what changes may be on the horizon for the field of donor relations. The initial results were compiled into a report that can be found on thankingdonors.net. Follow up interviews are being conducted since the publishing of the first report to garner additional insight on how things continue to change and what ideas will prove successful for the long term. Since the initial survey went live, a Canadian survey was published with a report that will follow later this Fall.
Join us for a six-month update to the survey responses answering questions:
