Innovating stewardship communications
Tracey Bailey -Special Advisor, Development, McMaster University
The simple definition of innovating: make changes in something established, especially by introducing new methods, ideas and products. In the stewardship portfolio you are responsible for nourishing the donor’s experience of your institution’s promises through a variety of activities, events, publications and correspondence. At the moment we have too many communications channels to choose from and the rise of individualism which challenges our ability and resources to speak to all our donors personally and authentically. Add a pandemic into the mix and we are working hard to reinvent our practises. In this chaos, opportunities for stewardship innovation abound. Focusing on written communications (and yes, videos and visuals) we will explore both the technical and creative strategies to help you sustain deep, meaningful, emotional and personal relationships with your donors.
Learning Objectives
- Build an ecosystem across your institution that will provide you with the rich content you share with your donors
- Work with communications to make your correspondence, reports and stories more personal, intriguing and engaging
- Develop and communicate about your strategic stewardship communications plan and share ideas for shaking up stewardship communications
