Engaging Community with Give Grande

As part of New Mexico’s first Day of Giving, nonprofits get to participate in capacity building sessions where they can learn best practices from some of New Mexico’s leaders in donor development. The first part of the session will focus on how nonprofits can bring donors inspiration in the work they do and convey the impact they have back to their communities. The second part will focus on how you keep your donors engaged after you have an event or specific outreach to your donors.
