We are working in one of the most exciting times for our profession – we have more data, insight, and research on what works in fundraising and donor relations than ever before. It’s also one of the toughest times, because making sense of all that information, knowing what will work best for your organization, and convincing your leadership on the path forward can be daunting and confusing. 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. This workshop is being co-convened by the CLU Center for Nonprofit Leadership and CSUCI Center for Community Engagement. NOTE:  Due to expected demand, we ask registrants to limit participation to a maximum of three (3) members from their organization.
