Women in Development of Greater Boston is thrilled to announce our first-ever Scholarship Program for the 2021 year.

On October 27, 2020, WID brought to light a question that many within the development profession are asking themselves daily. How do we continue moving forward with our major gifts program during a global pandemic? This program, sponsored by CCS Fundraising, gave attendees concrete suggestions from both fundraisers and donors alike, that although much has changed around us, the basics remain. We still need to continue making those asks, reach out to our constituents and building deeper connections with our donor base.

Congratulations to our member who has recently changed positions:

Name: Joyce MacDonald
Title & Organization: Assistant Director of Development, Women’s Philanthropy, Greater Boston Food Bank

The past several months has forced nonprofits to take a deeper look at how they operate, raise funds and keep people engaged in their mission. As we look towards our future, and in the spirit of new beginnings, it’s important to reflect on what we’ve learned, where we can grow and how we can better position ourselves moving forward. 

New to Development? You belong here.

WIDGB has some big news: We created a new, lower-cost membership level for those Women in Development who are new to the field!

There’s no doubt about it, this year is anything but ordinary. Wondering how to move forward during a crisis? We have you covered. Check out these tips for successful end of year of fundraising.
