Thank you to everyone who joined us for TVNPA’s June Community Program featuring master fundraiser and strategist Dee Dee Kiesow. In this powerful session, Raise a Million Dollars Without Asking for a Dime: Turn Your Next Event into a Lifetime Donor Machine, Dee Dee introduced her Monetize Your Minutes® strategy and shared how nonprofits can transform fundraising events into meaningful opportunities for long-term donor engagement. Your next gala, luncheon, open house, or community gathering can be more than a single fundraising moment. With the right strategy, it can inspire joyful giving, build deeper connections, and create donors who continue supporting your mission for years to come.During this program, Dee Dee explored how storytelling, timing, psychology, mission momentum, and intentional event design can help organizations increase giving and strengthen donor relationships. Thank you to Sandia National Laboratories for their sponsorship of this program!
