About the Webinar

Many fundraising professionals are not working with huge teams or endless budgets. They are wearing many hats. But that doesn't mean that we can't create donor experiences that truly move the needle and lead to transformational gifts. In this session, Sarah Spiegel, Director of Development at Riverlife (Pittsburgh, PA), will share how her small but mighty team raised millions, launched a $30M comprehensive campaign, and pulled off community-wide events - all while staying grounded in the heart of the mission. From donor communications to event planning to creative funding partnerships, Sarah will walk attendees through practical strategies for maximizing internal resources, rallying champion volunteers, and building donor engagement plans that work even when you're stretched thin. Whether you're a department of one or leading a lean development shop, you'll leave with new ideas (and some renewed confidence) to take your donor relations efforts to the next level.

Learning Objectives

• Tools and approaches to maximize donor impact with small teams and limited resources
• How to build cross-functional collaboration across departments and with volunteers
• Replicable planning frameworks for scalable engagement and stewardship
