[Donor Participation] What to Ask When Buying Tech

​Buying fundraising technology can be confusing. Yet, we all know that the right technology can help you achieve more with fewer resources.

​How to approach vendors without getting drowned in never-ending demos? How do you compare different products that all seem to be intended for slightly different goals? How can you make sure that you are enabling yourself and your institution to succeed?

​For the first time, the Donor Participation Project is convening both sides of the equation, buyers and sellers, for an honest conversation and sharing of best practices that will help all parties do what we’re best at: move the donor participation needle toward a more inclusive and representative donor base.

​We’ll be kicking off with a presentation by Julie Knight, Executive Director of Annual Giving at Carnegie Mellon University, followed by an open conversation with the CEOs of the major nonprofit technology providers.

​About: The Donor Participation Project (DPP) convenes fundraising professionals who are concerned about the nationwide decline in donor participation (20 million US households lost between 2000-2016). 

​We believe this can be solved by changing our fundraising practices and want to learn from peers who are moving the participation needle.
