Critical Conversation: Dark Horses of Fundraising: Channels and Platforms Nonprofits Should Be Exploring
Wednesday, September 17, 2025 (12:15 PM - 1:30 PM) (EDT)
Description
We all know email is the workhorse of digital fundraising, and most robust programs also leverage direct mail, and even telemarkeing. These three make up the core of multi-channel direct response, but they are not the only cost-effective ways to get your case for giving in front of the right people at the right time to trigger conversions.
Register today and come explore a few more consequential ways, from the tried-and-true though little used, to the up-and-coming. Our panel will share learnings and takeaways on SMS, canvassing, streaming video and audio advertising, and gaming!
By understanding these channels and adapting your strategies accordingly, you can enhance your fundraising efforts and achieve greater impact in 2025 and beyond!
