Description

Successful Mid-level Progam: What does mid-level success truly look like?

Every nonprofit wants to build meaningful relationships with their mid-level donors and upgrade them to major giving. But how can this be done in a way that is manageable and cost-effective while also expressing genuine empathy?

In this Breakfast with an Expert session, Karla Baldelli of RKD Group and Christine Dittmer of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network discuss what a successful mid-level program looks like and the keys to crafting one, based on their years of experience.

They are here to answer your questions and share their expertise in the following areas:

  1. Building strong relationships with donors                                                                                                      
  2. The importance of language and tone                                                                                                            
  3. How to structure a mid-level program                                                                                                            
  4. Measuring and tracking effectiveness
