We often think of online advocacy as a great to keep supporters engaged. But did you know online advocacy can also significantly boost fundraising performance?
I’m teaming up with Care2 and Blackbaud this week to host a free panel on connecting online advocacy and fundraising. Get tips on how to raise more money by using online advocacy. See recent examples of these best practices in action. Hear from Chris Burley from Defenders of Wildlife and Geoff Handy from the Humane Society of the US on how their optimizing their online fundraising program with online advocacy.
