Title: Donor Relations the Disney Way

Presenters: Wayne Olson

Date: July 26, 2022

Time: 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. EST

The Disney organization is known for its superb customer service and marketing. What if we could apply Disney-like techniques to planned giving? This session, based on Wayne Olson's book, The Disney Difference, shows how Disney accomplishes so much, often on a limited budget. We will learn ways we can use Disney-like methods to reach and retain donors. We may not take our planned giving donors to the park, but we can give them a Disney-like "wow" in everything we do. At the end of this session attendees will be inspired to go out and implement new ideas and creative concepts immediately to make a difference for themselves, their donors and their organizations.

  • One of the best sessions I have ever attended at the national conference. He is very encouraging and really makes you think and want to reevaluate your perspective on a number of issues
  • This was a great session. I learned so much about Disney and applying their customer service model to nonprofit and philanthropic work is an interesting concept. Lots of great take-aways.
  • I confess, I have never had an interest in attending a Disney theme park but now I want to to observe their service to their customers--great history.  I look forward to sharing  your perspectives with my colleagues.  I work in a high volume work environment and would appreciate the speaker's perspective of how to keep customer service/experience a priority for our nonprofits in an environment that is focused on "return" and dollars in the door.
