The goal of The Fundraising Focus forum is to provide development professionals with an opportunity to learn, network, and share experiences and ideas with each other. We understand that fundraisers often feel isolated and we hope that this time for discussion and fellowship will expand your skill set, as well as your network.

What’s your next move after a major donor makes a transformational gift?

This session invites nonprofit executives and fundraising leaders into a strategic, peer-driven conversation about what comes after the big yes.

Led by husband-and-wife fundraising professionals, Linda and Kevin Moore, who have a track record of cultivating long-term, high-impact donor relationships, we’ll explore how thoughtful, well-timed stewardship can turn a single gift into a multi-year, mission-aligned partnership.

Expect a candid discussion anchored in a real-world case study—one that began with a $10,000 gift and grew into a six-figure commitment. We’ll unpack the nuances of high-dollar donor stewardship: from strategic engagement and trust-building to knowing when (and how) to invite a deeper investment.

This is a safe space for reflection and problem-solving—an opportunity to ask the complex questions, share experiences with your peers, and walk away with both affirmation and fresh ideas.
