123. Back to the Basics: Annual Giving - Jonathan McCoy, CFRE and Becky Endicott, CFRE

Here's the thing. We all have something to learn in this space, but sometimes we're too shy/embarrassed/bored to ask for a basic tutorial. We've been there🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️ So Jon + Becky are launching a new Friday series called Back to Basics. We're going to be diving into the fundamentals of donor relations, operations, planned giving, events, campaigns, branding and several other general development topics. Why? Because we see a lot of young professionals joining our sector, as well as those who have left for-profit to chase the social good dream and just other Do Gooders looking to help their passion organizations. We want you trained quickly so you can do your thing on the front lines❤️ We'll talk strategy, structures, examples and our own success and failures. So tune in as we kick off our convo with Basic to Basics: Annual Giving.
