Motivating donors to invest in your PAC year after year is no easy task. Incentivizing long-term involvement requires a thoughtful, developed strategy that continually evolves. Does your program have a strong benefits and recognition structure in place to keep recurring donors engaged while attracting new PAC members? Does your existing incentive program need a refresh?

Featured Topic & Speakers

Join us for a roundtable discussion on building a strong plan that both motivates PAC eligibles to engage while rewarding the more seasoned donors.

  • Best practices for effectively using incentive clubs and suggested giving levels to increase participation
  • Identifying what motivates PAC eligibles to give and strategies for effectively tailoring the PAC’s benefits and recognition approach in response
  • Communications methods that leave all donors – new and old – feeling valued
  • Creating a “culture of giving” that builds loyalty and keeps donors coming back
