Build a discovery toolkit that helps you deepen engagement with donors and move relationships forward.

Event Information

Authentically navigating the discovery and qualification process is an essential skillset that gift officers need to sustain their donor base. Knowing how to ask questions, listen with curiosity, and unlock meaningful conversations with prospective donors can be the starting point for a principal or transformational gift in the future. 

Join us for this in-person conference where you will build your unique discovery work toolkit. Whether you’re new to fundraising work, want to refresh your perspective on discovery visits, or looking to strengthen the way your team engages with new donors, you’ll benefit from this conference as you: 

  • Explore different strategies for starting the relationship with and engaging prospective donors. 
  • Learn how to secure meetings with your best prospects and what questions to ask them. 
  • Test your approach and receive valuable feedback from peers and our speakers through an interactive workshop session. 

Who should attend?

This conference will be beneficial for new and aspiring development officers, donor experience officers, and leadership annual giving officers who are looking to develop or strengthen their approach to discovery visits. Advancement professionals who supervise these roles or are looking to expand their shop’s discovery work initiatives may also benefit from this conference.
