The significant increase in donor advised funds requires a new approach to major gift fundraising. Dr. Gen Shaker and Dr. Dan Heist will explain their new research on how fundraisers can work effectively with donor advised fund donors.

This session will explore how branded storytelling can transform Giving Day and year-end campaigns from generic appeals into powerful donor experiences. We’ll dig into why cohesive messaging and visuals drive stronger results—and how fundraisers can apply branding across channels, from emails to donor conversations. You’ll leave with practical tools, real-world examples, and insights from KidGlov’s 2025 End-of-Year Fundraising Survey to make your next campaign clearer, more compelling, and more successful.

Millennial households now donate more on average than their parents. Nonprofits need to update their fundraising strategies to properly cultivate and steward this next generation of donors. Dr. Michael Moody, co-author of, “Generation Impact,” will discuss how best to develop long-term donor relationships with millennials.
