About Program
Hey nonprofits, your next generation of donors is waiting- are you ready to engage Millennials?
The most socially conscious generation in history.
The largest generation in the United States.
The majority of the workforce.
Millennials are no longer in their teens and twenties. Many are skilled, up-and-coming professionals in their 30's & 40's with deeper pockets and vaster networks than you might think.
Plus, they are the inheritors of $42 trillion by 2030.
Join Alyssa Wright, self-proclaimed Millennial and advisor to next gen philanthropists, as she takes you through four sessions of recent research, tips, and tactics to engage these new donors in your mission and vision. Don't wait: research shows that from Mega Givers to everyday donors, Millennials are becoming very active donors and ambassadors to movements & missions they love.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE:
This course is for anyone at a nonprofit, social, impact or philanthropic organizations. We have found the course is mostly helpful to those in fundraising, communications, HR and leadership roles.
