Exclusive Member Only - Virtual Town Hall Meeting
Emergency Fundraising Strategies for Your Organization
Tuesday, April 7, 2020 | 1:30 - 2:45 PM


On Tuesday, April 7, AFP Chicago hosted a virtual town hall meeting to address our members’ questions in the wake of Covid-19. Thank you to all our participants and our incredible speakers who made this such a great success. Over 100 attendees tuned in and were presented with inspiring stories, suggested tips, tools, and resources to use during this challenging situation. 

Tips from the experts include:

  • "Use digital engagement to maintain fundraising momentum - even if it means flipping the script."
  • "No communication should be just a crisis communication."
  • "Leverage the increased need to connect and engage to schedule meetings with prospective donors." "Collect and share your information."
