We all want to engage our donors at a deeper level and strengthen their relationship to our organizations annually. The Pittsburgh Foundation has successfully implemented a systematic approach to engaging donors that involves a rating system, strategic annual philanthropic reviews, and strategic opportunities for them to involve planned giving in their philanthropic objectives. Learn how a community foundation has evolved from simply stewarding donors on an annual basis to engaging donors in a way that inspires them to give more now and in perpetuity.
