Description

New and advanced fundraising and marketing tools need a prize team of highly-skilled technical and business subject matter experts, spanning multiple departments to support them. From procurement to long term support, how IT/Operations and Fundraising departments collaborate and work together often determine the success of technology transformations in nonprofits.

Often these two teams have competing goals: responsibility for integration, security, and stability of the platforms often lives in IT departments, while in the Fundraising team –  the need for speed, flexibility, and rapid adoption of new modules, tools or tech-supported strategies is essential to hit fundraising goals.

Friction between teams can make or break projects, work relationships, and ultimately, impact the dollars raised.

Hear from a panel of fundraisers, marketers, and technologists in both Development and IT departments from ASPCA, Wildlife Conservation Society, and Share Our Strength/No Kid Hungry on how they “formed, stormed, normed, and performed” across departments to fundraising success.
