WS2: Your Best Donors Are Already Here: A Holistic Donor Stewardship Strategy That Recognizes Time, Talent, and Treasure | Workshop Part 1

Friday May 29, 2026 8:30am - 10:30am EDT

Mandarin Ballroom B

Volunteer engagement has been an afterthought in too many strategic plans for too long. The cost isn't just operational, it's relational. And in a sector where donor trust is hard-won and easily lost, that's a risk no executive can afford to keep taking.

The research is unambiguous: people who volunteer give at dramatically higher rates, give more, and stay longer. Yet most organizations manage volunteer and donor relationships in entirely separate silos: leaving trust, loyalty, and revenue on the table.

This working session is designed for senior nonprofit leaders ready to close that gap. Drawing on current sector research and evidence-based frameworks, you'll work through what a truly integrated stewardship strategy looks like and leave with a clear picture of what to change first.

The people most likely to fund your mission are already showing up for it. This session is about making sure your organization is ready to meet them there.
