Introduction: Why are Millennials Critical to the Success of Your Organization? (2 minutes)
Millennials are the largest generation in history, and as their surprising generosity continues to mature, it’s never been more critical for organizations to know who millennials are, what motivates them, and how they give.
Session 1: Generational Giving Differences, Faith, and Volunteerism (11 minutes)
Discover international differences in generational giving, the surprisingly large role faith plays in influencing charitable contributions, and the equally shocking statistical insignificance of volunteerism when comparing philanthropic cultures across the U.S., U.K., and Australia.
Session 2: The Role of Technology in Giving (11 minutes)
Technology plays a central role in how Millennials interact with their world, with the average Millennial checking their phone 150 times a day. This generational techno-centrism places increased importance on your organization’s website, the ease of the giving experience, and the increased value of regular, multi-channel communication… including direct mail!
Session 3: Social Media, Online Giving, Direct Mail and the Value of Communication (14 minutes)
Surprisingly, Millennials value and expect communication from the charities they support much more frequently than their generational counterparts, with 81% of Millennials expecting a phone call at least annually. Learn how to use this increased expectation for communication to motivate your Millennial donors to engage and give.
