Effective Ways to Retain and Motivate Your Top Fundraisers

Date: Wednesday, October 10th
Time: 2:00PM EST
Speakers:

  • William J. Mountcastle, President and Principal Consultant, Health Philanthropy Services
  • Mark Cotleur, Senior VP, Fund Development, Sisters of Charity Health System
Senior health philanthropy executives and hospital CEOs mention one of their key challenges is on-boarding new principal fundraisers and experienced major gift officer positions. Constantly having to re-hire and re-train teams is not only costly, but it also makes it harder to hit revenue targets and productivity goals. If you drill down into the reasons for turnover when it comes to top fundraisers and major gift officers, a handful of key factors quickly emerge. This webinar will take a closer look at each factor and some solutions that can turn things around -- even in a competitive job market.

Donors that fall in between annual and major giving represent a prime opportunity—if healthcare institutions develop a cohesive strategy for stewarding them. This webinar will walk through the process of building a middle donor program. We will present best practices and share lessons from a health system that has recently implemented a middle donor program.

The Philanthropic Vortex: Engaging Physicians and their Grateful Patients in Higher Levels of Successful Philanthropy

Date: Wednesday, January 16th
Time: 2:00PM EST
Speakers:

  • George F. Maynard, III, FAHP, Senior Principal, Accordant Philanthropy
  • William Schmidt, VP of Development, GHS Children's Hospital 
Today's campaigns are strategically crafted to involve physicians, grateful patients or family members who have affinity and volunteers who have given and are deeply affiliated and aligned with the campaign’s goals and objectives. Philanthropy is the focus, not fundraising. So much so, that those involved become more and more engaged in deeply personal and motivational ways, creating a Philanthropic Vortex™. This webinar will be a story of vision, courage, determination, commitment and, finally, discovery through the creation of grateful patients and grateful physicians into grateful partners. Together, they successfully turned an $80,000,000 philanthropy campaign into $91,000,000 and did so one year earlier than expected.

Maximizing Hospital Foundations in Changing Times

Date: Thursday, April 25th
Time: 2:00PM EST
Speakers:

  • Walter J. Dillingham, Jr., Managing Director, Endowments & Foundations, Wilmington Trust
  • Susan Holt, President and Senior Consultant, Vision Philanthropy Group
Over the past few decades, many hospitals in the U.S. have formed and used their separate foundations as key fundraising tools. As the healthcare sector evolves and new hospital systems are created or new partners join existing ones, hospital leaders will need to assess their hospital foundation strategies. Will they utilize a parent model, or will they continue with local foundations? How are local and/or system-wide strategic philanthropic objectives identified and action plans created? How are evolving boards engaged in a new environment? This webinar will review these options and discuss research derived from New York State, which can be applied to the national marketplace. We will also review the ways hospital foundations can maximize their fundraising and governance strategies, including the development of strategic philanthropic objectives and board engagement.

Millennials are one of the largest demographics in today’s society – they are born between 1980 and 1995, and are the focus of much speculation and confusion. Their emergence is providing an opportunity for organizations to develop new ways to interact with their employees and engage with donors. This webinar will focus on principles and examples for leaders to follow in their own organizations as they work with, and prepare for an influx of, millennials. These principles and examples will be applicable in interactions with donors, and in building relationships with staff.
