Our Future Digital World: Innovative Technology for Fundraising
About the Event
February Educational Luncheon
Technology is changing our world at an exponential rate, disrupting companies on a daily basis. And the reality is, no industry is immune – including nonprofit organizations. New technologies, new business models, and new outcomes will drive innovative ways to attract and retain new donors.
Maximizing mobile, social, cloud, and advanced analytics is quickly becoming the standard, not a differentiator. Molly will look at these key components of our digital world, as well as what comes next. As we move into a hyperdigital world, new technologies will change how donations are made and determine whether your fundraising is successful. How will you adapt these technologies to ensure you are competitive in the market? How will you offer an experience to your donors using technology that ensures they remain connected and give again? Participants will leave embracing the new digital era and reexamining how we can use technology to drive philanthropy forward in a new and innovative way.
