Trust in Action: Redefining Fundraising for a Resilient Future

Wednesday, March 12, 2025
12:00 PM - 1:30 PM (EDT)

Zoom

Event Details

As federal funding grows increasingly volatile, the nonprofit sector faces a critical choice: fall back on the donor-centrism of the past or balance power dynamics to safeguard the integrity of our missions. This session will explore how community-centered, trust-based fundraising can drive resilience and sustainability. Through case studies and actionable insights, participants will explore fundraising disciplines that foster open dialogue, build authentic partnerships, and redefine fundraising for a stronger, more equitable future.

Intended Audience

Staff, Board Members and Volunteers who lead fundraising efforts.
