Donors want to know not only how their gifts are used, but also how their gifts have helped the institution. Whether you are communicating about a one-time project or a donor's lifetime giving, Impact Reports are a low-cost, highly effective and engaging way to steward donors at all levels. Many institutions don't know where to begin or how to collaborate internally in order to obtain the necessary information needed for compelling, personalized impact reports. Join us as we explore the framework for an impact reporting program that institutions can adopt no matter their size.
