New to the program this year is the NPD State of Philanthropy Forum – an opportunity for our fundraising community to ask, “How do we meet this current moment and move beyond it?” This session is for the fundraising community including donors, volunteers, nonprofit board members, foundations, fundraisers, and stakeholders.

The Forum will create space for our industry to examine this current philanthropic landscape question while connecting with fellow professionals. Together, we will focus on sharing accessible takeaways of information that will be effective for organizations and teams of all sizes. You will leave with deeper relationships, and ways to turn urgency into clarity and ideas into action.
