In today’s crowded communication landscape, capturing and sustaining donor attention requires more than simply sharing updates. This interactive Lunch & Learn explores how nonprofits can use gamification, playful competition, strategic incentives, and compelling storytelling to increase donor engagement and drive measurable action.

Led by Ryan Shenefelt of DeNovo Marketing, this session will demonstrate practical techniques for transforming newsletters and donor communications into dynamic engagement tools. Participants will gain actionable strategies to strengthen calls to action, increase response rates, and build deeper donor relationships through creative, results-driven communication approaches.

As always, bring your own lunch!
