Topic: Mapping the Journey - Creative Approaches to Donor Services 

Featured Speakers: Bea Thomas, Donor Services Officer and Becca Root, Senior Donor Services and Gift Planning Officer, Pittsburgh Foundation

Donor stewardship isn’t just a checklist – it’s a journey. Join this peer discussion on creating meaningful experiences that guide donors from their first gift to lifelong engagement. We will share creative ideas, swap stories of what has worked (and what hasn’t), and explore practical strategies to make donors feel valued, inspired, and connected at every stage. 


To learn more about how you can connect with peers in the field, we encourage you to join the Philanthropy Exchange, as a space to ask questions, provide feedback, and share resources with community foundation donor service professionals.
