All fundraising efforts rely on knowing your biggest opportunities. We’re delighted to welcome back our colleague Rebecca Forman, Chief Development Officer at Report Local, home to Report for America and Report for the World, and former Head of Development and Donor Relations at The Lenfest Institute, to kick off the new year with a practical walk-through on identifying and prioritizing the donors who matter most to your newsroom.

In this session, participants will learn how to conduct a wealth screening and use it to build a high-impact donor list. This foundational work ensures all your fundraising actions are focused on the right prospects. Participants will gain:

  • An understanding of donor screening methods and data sources
  • Best practices for identifying high-potential donors
