  • RMPI 2026: Creating Community with Courage and Collective Action

    Join colleagues from across the state on Friday, September 18 at the UCAR Center Green Campus in Boulder for a full day of learning, networking, and inspiration.

    This year's theme, Creating Community with Courage and Collective Action, recognizes that today's fundraisers are more than resource developers. We are community builders who cultivate trust, strengthen relationships, and inspire lasting impact. Throughout the day, you'll hear from respected sector leaders, including AFP Global Board Chair Roger Ali, participate in engaging educational sessions, connect with peers from across Colorado, and leave with practical strategies you can put to work immediately.

    In addition to the Friday lineup, Wipfli Advisors is offering a bonus session on Thursday, September 17th.  Essentials Workshop – Maximize the Power of Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs).  DAFs are gaining popularity as a giving strategy in the US, with rapid growth in both users and assets. However, many fundraisers lack clarity on exactly how they work and their benefits
    This is a separate registration.
