The Loneliness Epidemic – How Nonprofits are Uniquely Poised to Help

Description:

The Loneliness Epidemic continues to loom large. People crave more connection and meaning in their lives but are unsure where to start — and intimidated about the process. Nonprofits to the rescue … This session explores how nonprofits are uniquely poised to:

• Address isolation in creative and meaningful ways
• Position these solutions as benefits to donors and volunteers
• Position these solutions as novel and effective stewardship opportunities

Discover how savvy nonprofits can present these opportunities to donors, volunteers and prospects as unique benefits — and use them as low-cost stewardship strategies

You’ll leave this energizing conversation with:

• Data to support the case for including this concept in your messaging and fundraising communications
• Specific ideas and examples of how to envision and position your organization as a welcoming third space for constituents
• How to involve current volunteers, donors and board members
• The right questions to consider as you position your nonprofit as a connector and hub for meaningful interaction and friendship
