Do You Know the Top Ten Data Points for Your Marketing and Fundraising Success?
PRESENTER:
Paul Miller, Principal, NeverDark Consulting
Numbers don’t lie, and the field of data science is transforming the way organizations conduct business at every level. The best part is, you already have all the data you need to help make informed decisions that can transform your marketing and fundraising operations and sustain your organization for years to come. You don’t have to be a mathematician or scientist to leverage the power of data mining, but you probably do need some help getting started.
Based on last year’s successful Arts Reach conference workshops, we’ll share what the top ten data points are and why they matter, teach you how to locate the data you need and perform the necessary calculations, and share the survey results of metrics from over 100 participating organizations like yours from the US and Canada.
You’ll come away with the ability to calculate your own metrics and use them to support revenue goals and get critical buy-in from your board, senior leadership, and everyone in your organization.
Thursday, October 5 / 11 a.m. Pacific
Fundraising is Everyone's Responsibility
PRESENTER:
Liv Nilssen, Business Analyst, Spektrix
Most organizations have a fundraising or development team. While it can be tempting to say that these staff members alone are responsible for bringing in donations, the truth is everyone at your organization plays a vital role. From marketing to box office and even front of house, there’s a part for everyone to play and if everyone does your organization will profit.
We will discuss how to create institutional buy-in for fundraising goals and how every member of your organization can help to amplify those efforts.
