About this Event

Fundraising stewardship is about building relationships with supporters after they donate to your organization. It involves managing gifts as donors intended, updating donors on the progress and impact of their gifts, keeping them involved with your organization, and so much more. When there is uncertainty in the economy, good stewardship practices are critical!


  • What are the top ways your organization supports your donors?
  • What are the best ways you have experienced stewardship as a donor?

Our September program will feature time for networking and idea sharing. We will be sitting in small groups instead of one large table. Let’s learn from and support each other!

Bring your stewardship ideas and if they happen to be written forms of communication, bring 7 copies to share. Each small group will select their top ideas and share them with the full group.

You will walk away with new ideas and contacts who can offer guidance or support. Plus, you should leave feeling encouraged that your stewardship practices are making a difference.

We look forward to seeing you there!

The program will be moderated by Abby Reeg, CFRE, AFP West MI Program Chairperson

Deadline to Register is Tuesday, September 16 before Noon.
