Since 2020, the National Audubon Society's Prospect Development team has worked to make its systems and processes more inclusive so that Audubon's donor pool can reflect the communities Audubon serves. While Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion has long been a funding interest for Audubon donors, 2020 was the first year that the Prospect Development team applied data and strategy skills to building a donor pipeline for ED&I work. Nearly a year into this journey, challenges the team is addressing include:

A lack of donor demographic data
An incomplete understanding of how prospects and donors would want to connect with ED&I work
Building an ED&I strategy suitable for a large fundraising team with varying programmatic and geographic needs

This presentation will discuss the creative solutions to these challenges while exploring the work the team would still like to do. The goal is to provide prospect researchers from a variety of shops with the tools to conceptualize and implement their own ED&I strategy.

When: May 24th, 1pm EST

Price: FREE, Apra PA members get early registration, registration open to all on April 23rd
