Gravyty
Major Giving officers know the keys to building and maintaining relationships---cultivation and stewardship---are in the quality, frequency, and intimacy of the dialogue. But with tight resources, and a lack of dedicated support staff, Public Media MG officers end up spending a majority of their time bogged down with admin, research, and prep work. In this session, you’ll learn how Gravyty helps turn that dynamic around using AI to boost backend efficiency and allow for more personal interaction with donors.

In this session, you will learn how to arm your station with the insights and data necessary for success.
FreeWill: Strategic Planned Giving

In this session, you’ll know how, in just 18 months, CDP’s partnership with FreeWill has delivered over $18.5 million in estimated bequest value to 21 stations.
Canvassing

In this session, hear from your PM colleagues how these personal interactions can transform your acquisition program by adding mission-oriented, high-retaining sustainers to your member file.
