Increasingly, nonprofit organizations concerned about the future of official development assistance are looking
And as these mega-donors — like the growing number of billionaires in Silicon Valley — consider what causes they want to support, there is an opportunity for international NGOs to engage them.
But what are the best practices for engaging these donors?
On April 27, Devex will convene a panel of experts to highlight best practices — and common mistakes — for organizations looking to raise money from individuals whose gifts could be transformative to their work.
The one-hour webinar will cover:
- Trends in giving among ultra high net worth donors
- Tips for incorporating these philanthropists into your fundraising strategy
- Examples of successful models of engaging ultra high net worth individuals
We will also save time
This event is open exclusively to Devex Executive Members and those with a Business Intelligence Account. If you are not currently a member, you will be prompted to upgrade during registration.
