You Better Recognize: Best Practices in Donor Recognition and Appreciation

Are you going to make a New Year’s resolution to continue to be the best fundraiser you can be? The New Mexico Chapter of AFP can help you with that goal! Start your year and your donor relationships right as we focus on donor recognition and stewardship at our January 12th lunch program and plan on attending the annual Funders Forum on February 16th.

This program will be led by the 2011 National Philanthropy Day Fundraising Professionals of the Year, Kevin Hagen, CFRE, and Sandy Mann, and will offer insight into best practices in donor appreciation. What makes recognition meaningful? Is your organization consistent?
