Social and human service institutions across the country received an influx of donors in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. How might these organizations encourage donors to offer long-term mission support after making short-term crisis donations?
Join CCS Fundraising and sector leaders as we share tools to transition these new donors into mission champions. We will use key findings from our recent survey, strategies we’ve found successful, the McKinsey Influence Model, and sector case studies to help you create a sustainable donor retention plan for your organization.

2020 and 2021 have been filled with personal and professional challenges for the Catholic community. However, we often learn the most from the hardest things we encounter in life. For the members of ICSC, the professionals at CCS and the individuals leading our nation’s diocesan, parish, school, and Catholic institution development offices, this has been true of the last 12 months. Your collaboration and partnership have both reimagined and elevated Catholic Stewardship, communications, and fundraising across the country.
ICSC and CCS are proud to collaborate on new ways to support your important work though a quarterly webinar series to showcase creative ideas and discuss innovations. Please join us for the first session, where we’ll review trends in the Catholic sector and discuss peer successes and practical strategies for donor communications and annual appeal.
Key takeaways from this session will include:
- Innovations in major gift solicitation and annual appeal
- Examples of enhanced digital communications
- Strategies for integrating social media into your engagement plan
- Approaches to turning donor engagement into a year-long conversation
