VanillaSoft Speaking Session
VanillaSoft Speaking SessionJoin VanillaSoft’s own Jordan Hiatt for his session, “Get With the Times: A Fresh Take on Student Fundraisers”.
Session Overview
As donor fatigue continues to become more and more apparent in annual giving shops across the country, the key to reengaging your alumni is right in your backyard — the new era of student gift officers is upon us! In this session we will take a deeper dive into how to make the most of your student fundraisers by recruiting across campus to target niche alumni bases, utilizing a “slingshot” method in cultivation, and instilling a culture of philanthropy within your institution. (Not “just” another phonathon session!)
