🎤 ✨ There’s a powerful yet often overlooked revenue stream available to local newsrooms: mid-level and major gifts. And you don’t need to be a nonprofit — or have a fundraising staff — to access it. During this 2025 Independent News Sustainability Summit session, BlueLena's Judi Kamien, former chief development officer at the Springfield Daily Citizen, will demystify the art and science of identifying key supporters and share how publishers can cultivate mid- to major-level individual donors using tools they already have and a relationship-first mindset. Bonus: Attendees will receive a weekly donor engagement planner that helps them prioritize, track, and deepen relationships with potential major donors.
