A smart annual outreach plan is vital to keep supporters connected to your cause — and hit year-end revenue goals. But with so much uncertainty on the horizon in 2025, how can you map donor communications for the next 12 months and stay flexible to adapt if needed?

Join this webinar to learn key steps and considerations for creating a strong outreach plan in changing times.

Our expert guests will explain what to include in a smart strategy, how to develop the right messages, and ways to unfold your story over time — so you can keep donors interested throughout the year and inspire generous year-end giving.

They’ll also explain what needs to be in place internally to ensure the best results, including systems to set up and ways to coordinate staff efforts and streamline work across a variety of communication channels.

Plus, you’ll get real-world examples and tools to help you plan and execute your outreach.

You’ll learn:

•    Key elements of a strong donor communications plan in 2025
•    The processes to put in place and steps to take for a successful strategy
•    How to craft messages that will resonate with donors and motivate giving
