Online Discussion Tomorrow: Raising Big Gifts Via the Internet

June 9, 2008 | Read Time: 1 minute

Join us tomorrow at noon U.S. Eastern time for an online discussion with several marketing and communications experts about what’s works — and what doesn’t — for raising money online.

Our guests:

  • Jeff Regen, vice president of online marketing and communications for Defenders of Wildlife, an environmental charity in Washington. Defenders of Wildlife receives more than 40 percent of its first-time gifts of $1,000 or more online.
  • Betsey Fortlouis, senior director of member communications for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in New York, which has been expanding its online major-gifts campaign.
  • Jeff Patrick, president of Common Knowledge, a San Francisco consulting company that helps charities conduct online fund-raising campaigns.

The discussion is open to everyone, not just Chronicle subscribers.

People who ask questions in advance have a better chance of receiving answers during the online discussion.
