Introduction to engaging with Jewish, Christian, and Muslim donors
Description
Fundraising requires building trust and cultivating connections with donors. How can fundraisers reach out to people of faith, whose generosity is both well-documented and often an expression of that faith?
This overview will give you first-hand Jewish, Christian, and Muslim perspectives, bringing you on a journey to explore religiously motivated giving in the three traditions, with a focus on donor cultivation and how to avoid common cultural mistakes.
You will explore best practices for cultivating faith-based donors and discover the pitfalls to avoid. You’ll get practical advice such as: - how to identify Jewish donors in your database, - the best ways to thank Christian donors - the ideal cultivation timeline for Muslim donors.
