Philanthropic Psychology: The Psychological Science of Giving
Non-Credit Bearing
Executive Education |
This workshop will introduce you to the latest findings in philanthropic psychology. It aims to use new thinking and new evidence to inspire new advancement practice. Prof. Jen Shang will explain how moral identity, family and friends networks, donor identity and communal relationship formation influence giving. She will present field experiments where these ideas created fundraising uplift of 10%-30% with no additional cost. She will review donors surveys where giving has been shown to shape one's sense of who they are and how they relate to a non-profit. She will then conduct reflective sessions to help you translate this learning into action (e.g. tweak your acquisition communication, welcome cycles and retention/legacy giving programs).
Advanced philanthropic psychology concepts will be covered in these sessions, and hands-on exercises will be provided to help you understand and apply these concepts in your fundraising communications with donors. Participants are encouraged to bring copies of their donor communications to discuss how academic research might be applied to modify fundraising communications. |
