The traditional donor journey can take 12 to 24 months—or longer—to move someone from awareness to meaningful investment. But what if your fundraising strategy could intentionally accelerate that journey?

In this powerful webinar, internationally recognized fundraising strategist, trusted advisor, author, speaker, and professionally trained auctioneer Dee Dee Kiesow shares a more intentional approach to moving supporters from passive interest to active, joyful investment in your mission.

Using her Educate • Elevate • Enroll • Engage framework, Dee Dee will explore how nonprofit organizations can use every donor touchpoint—including fundraising events, galas, and auctions—to deepen relationships and inspire action.

Discover how to:

• EDUCATE supporters about the need, the mission, and what is truly at stake.
• ELEVATE their emotional connection so your cause becomes personally meaningful.
• ENROLL them in a compelling opportunity to become part of the solution.
• ENGAGE them beyond a single gift, event, or auction to build loyalty and lifetime donor value.

You’ll also learn:

• Why donors can get stuck in the traditional fundraising pipeline.
• What people need to understand, feel, and believe before they are ready to give.
• How to accelerate the journey from awareness to action.
• Why your fundraising event can be much more than a one-night revenue generator.
• How galas and auctions can become powerful donor-engagement opportunities.
• Practical strategies you can begin using immediately to create stronger donor relationships.

And Dee Dee has the results to back it up.

She’ll share how applying her proven approach helped the same 300 guests increase their giving from $37,000 to $210,000 the very next year.

Your gala, event, or auction isn't simply a place to raise money. It can be a strategic donor magnet—an opportunity to educate, connect, inspire, and begin relationships that continue long after the final bid.

Stop waiting for donors to move through the pipeline by accident.
