What once was dubbed the “missing middle” has now become one of the biggest topics in fundraising – with the value of mid-level donors no longer in doubt. However, understanding the potential of mid-level giving and knowing how to maximize your own organization’s potential for these gifts can be two separate issues. In this session, we will explore:
How can you identify strong mid-level program leads, including those who may pass through this giving level on the way to becoming a major donor?
What are the various strategies and channels that you can use to promote mid-level giving, including opportunities like giving circles and digital channels?
How can you structure and plan your investment in mid-level programs, and what benefits can you expect to see?
These questions will be accompanied by case studies that showcase mid-level giving programs in action, as well as spotlight how data can be applied to strengthen your pipeline and planning out of the annual fund through to mid-level and major giving.”
