Today,
more and more nonprofit organizations are looking at ways to broaden
their donor base to include diverse groups while increasing their
philanthropic support. In each diverse community (Hispanic, African
American, Asian American, GLBT) there are specific motivations for
giving – whether out of a sense of duty, religious affinity, helping
family or to create a presence within their own communities and other
organizations, diverse groups have helped to shape philanthropy. At
this session, you will explore ways to engage, cultivate and identify
best practices to increase participation by diverse communities in your
non-profit organizations. Hear what some of our area fundraisers are
saying about how their organizations serve, engage and fundraiser to
diverse communities.
