Ohio Association for Healthcare Philanthropy
Course Description:
You have probably heard for years that philanthropy is an art and science. That is true. The key is knowing when you need to use each side of your brain in crafting a successful Grateful Patient Strategy.
This webinar will enable you to use the data you already have to analyze the best grateful patient prospects (the Science). We’ll follow up with best practices on partnering with physician allies s and cultivating your donor in a personalized way to secure a joyful yes to your proposal (the Art).
We include tools and tactics for small shops and want to emphasize that you probably already have or have access to the data you will need.
We don’t promise any enlightenment but do emphasize that a balanced gift officer of philanthropy operations leader will find peace and tranquility in knowing you are leveraging your resources and closing more gifts.

This webinar is free to attend for members; $25 for non-members.
