The Art of the Pivot: Rethinking Year-End Giving in a Changing Landscape
We’ll discuss real-time strategies for shifting messaging in this landscape
In today’s unpredictable giving landscape, fundraisers and nonprofit leaders are facing new challenges that make traditional year-end strategies feel out of step. With urgent issues like the SNAP benefit crisis, inflation, and increased community need dominating the headlines, asking for support can feel more complicated than ever.
This 75-minute interactive session, led by Alana Jordan of Inch by Inch Solutions, invites development professionals and nonprofit leaders to step back, reflect, and adapt. We’ll explore how to remain grounded in your organization’s mission while staying flexible in your approach. Together, we’ll discuss real-time strategies for shifting messaging, communicating with empathy, and learning from one another in this evolving landscape.
This isn’t about having all the answers, it’s about creating space to think differently, share challenges, and find collective strength as we navigate this season of giving.
