Executive Issues

Here's your chance to chime in and help us paint a picture of trends and best practices across all aspects of the nonprofit world in the new year.

This session will help you pave the way to fire your board up for fundraising.

Our speakers discuss what you should be doing to ensure your fundraising success in 2015 and beyond.

Learn how one organization re-ignited its fundraising fire in the face of risk-averse leadership, slashed budgets and low staff morale.

As a nonprofit leader, volunteers and especially board members need to be looking to you as the expert, as the leader. If you need additional expertise for various reasons, bring in consultants, advisors, board members and staff. For nonprofit success  — and fundraising success specifically  — be strategic and lead!

What is it each day, each week and each month that you absolutely must focus on for the best possible fundraising results?

Think about your work performance, and strive to give it your best each day. You will drive home with a good feeling knowing you gave it your best, and others will notice.            

When you have a long career, you create a database of contacts. If you're lucky, you may reconnect with people from your past and start the engagement process all over again.

There's an emerging movement to value talent, invest in the next generation, be open to change, and look for and nurture new fundraisers coming up in the ranks!

Although the outcomes of any given fundraising effort cannot be known with absolute certainty, assessing the probability of success isn't entirely guesswork, either.
