Discover Gift Opportunities in the New Tax Law with Prospect Research

Identify new donor opportunities and forecast potential losses

Webinar | $75

Information on the new tax law has flooded the internet, including a lot of doom and gloom forecasting of plunges in giving. Are you still left wondering what that means for your nonprofit and how your unique constituency might behave?

This webinar introduces some fresh thinking on the new tax law from a prospect research point a view. We summarize the key points of the tax law as they apply to philanthropy, both positive and negative. Then we walk you through step-by-step on how you can make reasonable assumptions and forecast the possible negative and positive impacts on your organization’s donors.

With all of the information out there, by now you likely understand the key provisions in the new tax law. You just need a creative and methodical approach to apply that information to your unique constituency so that you can make data-based decisions right now about exactly what donor messaging tactics to implement before the end of the year.

Fear not! This is not a webinar about complex statistical modeling techniques or complicated mathematical formulas. This webinar is about making reasonable assumptions and applying them in simple calculations to identify the likely risk and opportunity segments in your donor base. Any fundraising professional can master this approach.
