Well, we’ve sorted it out for you. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to this work of fundraising and donor relations, but we’ll give you the tools, information, and resources you need to thrive in 2025. NOTE:  Due to expected demand, we ask registrants to limit participation to a maximum of three (3) members from their organization.
