EP 43: Turning Event Attendees into Long-Term Donors with Sam Staley [Ask a Responsive Fundraiser]
About this episode
In this episode of Ask a Responsive Fundraiser, Sam Staley, Founder and CEO of Event.Gives, joins us to challenge traditional metrics of event success. From the power of personalized thank-you messages to the concept of “dollars in the room,” Sam shares actionable strategies nonprofits can use to grow giving long after the event ends.
This episode is packed with real-world insights on how fundraisers can:
- Rethink event ROI with a lifetime donor lens
- Use integrated CRMs and event tools for faster, smarter follow-up
- Create automated drip campaigns that boost attendance and giving
- Identify and recover missed revenue through post-event data
- Build lasting donor relationships through continued engagement
