For those not yet familiar with Louis, he is a seasoned authority in annual fund development and digital fundraising, bringing a wealth of experience to the table. His tenure as the former Executive Director of Annual Giving at Muhlenberg College, coupled with his contributions to esteemed organizations such as the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and Johns Hopkins SAIS, underscore his remarkable journey in fundraising.
The Donor Participation Project, Louis Diez's brainchild, is an initiative that convenes fundraising professionals who share two critical concerns:
- Addressing the nationwide decline in donor participation (20 million US households lost between 2000-2016).
- Embracing change in our fundraising practices to reverse this trend and learning from peers who are successfully driving increased participation.
The members meet for monthly meetings that take the form of Lunch Analysis sessions—a blend of a book club, scholarly discussions, brainstorming, and mutual support. Each session focuses on a specific topic related to donor participation.
Join us on the last Friday of every month to elevate your fundraising strategies. 🚀
In addition to the valuable insights you'll gain from the session, you'll also receive exclusive resources from Almabase and access to the resource library curated by DPP.
