SEDRC 2020 Session:

Transforming the Donor Experience: Thinking Out of the Box

Jennifer Williford
Director, Stewardship & Donor Relations


About the Session

The Woodruff Arts Center's Annual Corporate Campaign is well known throughout metro-Atlanta garnering support from the city's top corporations. But many of the Arts Center's corporate donors don't know about the wealth of benefits they receive in recognition of their support. Inspired by the Atlanta United Football Club's season ticket package, the Corporate Engagement Team created an "out of the box" solution to engage corporate donors and increase corporate benefit usage. Jennifer Williford, Director, Stewardship & Donor Relations, will guide you through the Art Center's process of creating a dynamic donor benefit package. Session appropriate for all size shops, all experience levels and all types of organizations
