Participants will receive tools such as checklists, best practice examples of key points, and practical advice on what to measure and how to use what your learn. The session will give you a new lens on marketing planned gifts and give you a solid platform to communicate with management and coordinate and integrate your campaign into the nonprofit’s organizational marketing plan.
