Boom Generation Women Create New Horizons for Fundraisers

Boom generation women have the emotional literacy, financial confidence and control the economic means to make major lifetime and legacy gifts that mirror their core values and beliefs, and fulfill their number one issue - a desire to make a difference. Organizations that understand how to create a sustainable environment for gender and generational synergy will attract and maintain the trust, loyalty and commitment of the nation's largest cohort of women impatient for and receptive to advice and counsel as to how to direct their philanthropic dollars. This session will identify the key psychosocial peer-personality traits of this generation, discuss how to implement effective communication, marketing and gender receptive programs and provide you with the tools to align your organization's mission more closely with donor's values and interests.
