October 2025 Webinar: Expanding Prospect Management Systems Beyond Major Giving 

Please join us as Ruthie Giles explores how to expand prospect management strategies to include a broader range of donor types beyond just major gift prospects.     

Prospect management often emphasizes high-level donors, but it's equally important to engage other valuable groups like annual fund leaders, volunteers, and planned giving prospects. Ruthie will share practical strategies for incorporating these diverse prospects into your system, regardless of your shop size or resources.

Attendees have a chance to win a $10 Starbucks gift card. Winner will be selected randomly and contacted after the event.
