At 11:00am on Day 2, we’ll start with our AGM, followed by our 2nd Annual Industry Awards. Nominations open soon, so now is the time to consider your 2021 nominee(s) in these categories:
- Fundraising Innovation
- Partner of the Year
- Above and Beyond

- Rising Star
In need of financial assistance? CanadaHelps has returned as our Education Sponsor to the cover registration fee for selected applicants. To apply, look for a notification coming soon. And there will also be other bursary opportunities geared toward our BIPOC communities, as well as small shops.
If you feel the same as me, you just can’t wait to see our fundraising colleagues again! Until then, take good care.
Yours in philanthropy,
