We’re Getting Real With Fundraisers Each Tuesday

At the start of this year, RNL launched our weekly LinkedIn Live broadcast. Every Tuesday at 3 p.m. we host advancement leaders from across the spectrum of donor engagement regularly, alongside topics from enrollment and student success. This has been a great way to showcase new ideas, donor engagement trends, and the success of RNL partners in an informal conversation.

Here are highlights from a few of the 21 conversations we’ve already had.

UC Davis shatters records with special athletics giving days

Michelle Poesy from UC Davis joined RNL’s Eric Billings to talk about the recent Champions Adapt 7-day giving event that raised over $500k with 1,320 donors, even during interrupted athletic seasons. Giving days can be targeted to specific areas and highly engaging to donors who want to make a difference.
