Whether you’re looking to attract or retain a diverse constituency of donors, you will want to join us for this conversation on best practices in stewardship and donor relations for all donors. Learn first-hand from our experts how to be more inclusive with your stewardship practices especially for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities. During this discussion, we’ll learn innovative ways that our speakers are implementing in their work or experiencing in the field. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask your own questions as it pertains to your role or organization.
