Are you unsure whether your stewardship efforts are worth the time and money? Are you curious about the types of long-term returns you should expect from implementing a new program?

In this interactive workshop you will learn how to design and implement stewardship "experiments" that will provide you with measurable results. You can expect to come away with a new or revitalized stewardship program for your organization with clearly defined goals and measurement objectives. Information gleaned from these experiments can include: changes in frequency of giving, retention rates relative to other programs, changes in donor involvement, giving level fluctuations and more.
