Recurring Gifts, Maximize Your Potential in Monthly Donors
WHERE: Jule Operations & Training Center, 949 Kerper Blvd, Dubuque
WHEN: Wednesday, September 27—8:30 – 10:00 am

Are you missing out on vital recurring gift opportunities? Join Karen Tuecke, AFP President, to discuss recurring gifts for our September gathering. Recurring donors are the most commonly overlooked segment for many organizations. Recurring giving is when a donor elects to make a regular, ongoing donation to your organization instead of a one-time gift. There are some basic and simple principles a fundraiser can use in order to maximize the potential for recurring donors. Attend this session to learn more ways to address and talk to your benefactors about recurring giving.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Karen at karen@dbqpbvms.org.

Respectfully,

Karen Ann Tuecke, MBA, CFRM
President, AFP Greater Tri-States Chapter
