AI is showing up in nonprofit boardrooms whether we've planned for it or not — and most conversations will start from fear or fine print.

This workshop, led by Michelle Mapp from Mapp Consulting Group, offers a different starting point: a four-layer framework that treats AI as something that can actually make your organization stronger, not just something to lock down or hope will go away.

Register here:

Learn how nonprofit boards can use AI responsibly with a four-layer framework focused on purpose, governance, privacy, and implementation.

GivingTuesday and year-end will be here before we know it.

But the strongest year-end campaigns don’t suddenly appear in November.

They overflow from the relationships, trust, stories, and engagement you build all year.

That’s the idea behind The Nonprofit Fundraising Summit: Impact Overflow, a free virtual gathering of 12,000+ nonprofit professionals happening September 30–October 1.

Come refill your cup with practical fundraising strategies and fresh ideas before the busiest fundraising season of the year.

Fill your cup. Watch your impact overflow.

We ask a lot of nonprofit professionals.

Raise more. Build stronger relationships. Learn the new technology. Tell better stories. Support your team. Keep the mission moving. And now, get ready for GivingTuesday and year-end.

But you can only pour from an empty cup for so long.

That’s why we really like the idea behind The Nonprofit Fundraising Summit: Impact Overflow.

Instead of simply asking nonprofit professionals to do more, it asks a different question:
What would happen if we filled our cups first?

On September 30–October 1, 12,000+ nonprofit professionals will come together virtually to learn, reset, and prepare for year-end through conversations about fundraising strategy, donor relationships, storytelling, AI, leadership, and more.

The speaker lineup includes Seth Godin, Diane Yentel, Vu Le, Rob Wu, Julia Campbell, Alex Nawar of OpenAI, and dozens of other nonprofit leaders and practitioners.
And the whole thing is free.

Because great year-ends aren’t built in the final months. They overflow from the relationships, trust, and work you build all year.

Fill your cup. Watch your impact overflow.

We all carry stories with us -- assumptions and beliefs shaped by our families, communities, experiences, and culture.

Sometimes, those stories influence how we make decisions, who we trust, and how we show up in our work without us even realizing it.

Join us for a two-part live training led by Syah B. from Empathy Elevates to take a closer look at those patterns and learn how to interrupt them.

Explore where implicit bias comes from, how it shows up in professional settings, and practical ways to recognize and challenge it in real time.

When the events get bigger, the team works harder, but revenue stays flat -- it may be time to rethink your fundraising model.

Join us for "Building Sustainable Revenue: Moving Beyond Short-Term Fundraising" -- a two-day workshop led by Jessica Cloud, focused on moving from short-term, transactional “microwave” fundraising to sustainable, relationship-based “crockpot” fundraising.

You’ll diagnose what’s holding your revenue model back, rethink board expectations, and leave with practical tools and a 30-day action plan!
