In this interactive session, we’ll explore how principles from the themed entertainment industry can transform the way nonprofits approach donor engagement, events, and stewardship. From the moment someone receives an invitation to the lasting impression after an event ends, every touchpoint has the potential to shape whether a donor feels welcomed, valued, and like they truly belong.

Together, we’ll examine how elements like storytelling, accessibility, and audience-centered design can either include or unintentionally exclude donors. Participants will uncover practical ways to make the donor experience more inclusive, impactful, and aligned with their organization’s values.
