First look access provided byTPPG_PP_LOGO.png


For over 60 years, fundraisers, nonprofit leaders, donors, scholars, and other individuals who work in or with the charitable sector have counted on Giving USA to provide the most comprehensive charitable giving data available. How we use the data, especially amid uncertain times, can help us focus our efforts making us more effective. 
  • Richard Tollefson, President The Phoenix Philanthropy Group, will first guide participants through the report
  • Keynote speaker Gabe Cooper will then share how non-profits can get the attention of today's distracted donor.
  • After the presentation, attendees will split into small, virtual breakouts to discuss the challenges and solutions facing your organizations today. This is your chance to have those ever so valuable brainstorm sessions with your peers!
  • Not to end on a serious note, the event will conclude with a virtual happy hour led by the mix masters at Cien Agaves, Tacos & Tequila's and very competitive bingo competition where winner takes all.

Keynote by Gabe Cooper:

The fundraising systems you were taught were designed for a world that no longer exists, resulting in a growing disconnect between donor expectations and fundraising practices. See how modern fundraisers are closing the gap by adopting responsive fundraising systems that scale personalized donor experiences, create sustainable funding, and build resilience.

Gabe Cooper is the founder and CEO of Virtuous Software, the responsive CRM and fundraising platform that helps nonprofits easily create personalized donor experiences at scale that build better donor relationships. Previously, he was in leadership at a large nonprofit and co-founded an innovation consultancy. His drive stems from a passion to create market-defining software and help charities reimagine generosity. He frequently writes and speaks about empowering nonprofits to grow generosity through technology.
