The COVID-19 pandemic has spotlighted a number of local and national non-profits that are well positioned to provide relief to those who are in significant need due to the economic impact of the virus. With food insecurity skyrocketing, the Richmond community has very generously invested in FeedMore to support our neighbors in need.
Join us in March to learn about FeedMore's approach to new donor stewardship, cultivation, and retention during the first 12 months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Together Kathy Erhardt, Director of Advocacy and Manager of Leadership and Planned Giving, along with Jeff Wilklow, Chief Development Officer, will share how FeedMore has utilized data segmentation, direct marketing, email communication, individual cultivation, phone banking, and social media in order to secure new and renewed support during this unprecedented time.
Do you miss connecting with colleagues from across the sector? Join us at 11:30am for a pre-meeting networking session! This informal opportunity will allow you to virtually meet and greet with fellow fundraisers.
Approved for 1 hour of CFRE credit.
