Keynote Address | Meeting More Than Halfway Across the Bridge

Rahsaan Graham

Join us during this session as Rahsaan shares his experiences and recommended approaches to improving what is the most mission-critical, yet often the most ineffective and mutually frustrating internal partnership at many non-profit organizations- The partnership between the fund development and the program implementation teams. 
 
Together we will explore what it looks like to create a transformational bridge between the donor and the field, that leads to mission-aligned sustainable impact that all can enjoy.

Plenary Session | The State of Generosity: Insights from the Fundraising Effectiveness Project

Tim Sarrantonio

What does today’s data really tell us about the health of generosity in the nonprofit sector? In this informative presentation, Tim Sarrantonio unpacks the latest findings from the Fundraising Effectiveness Project to reveal both urgent challenges and emerging opportunities in donor behavior. Attendees will walk away with a clear-eyed view of national giving trends, a deeper understanding of retention dynamics, and actionable insights to strengthen their organization’s fundraising resilience. Whether you’re seeking clarity, connection, or inspiration, this session will ground you in the realities of where generosity stands—and where we can go from here.
