Fundraising professionals need to receive support, encouragement, inspiration, and encouragement.

If you want your nonprofit organization to feel recharged, informed, and refreshed, it is important to…

  • Ensure professionals feel valued and motivated.

  • Ensure you are making the correct efforts, and not wasting your energy on tactics that are not beneficial.

  • Learn and grow always!

At The Community Foundation, we are focused on growth. And to take it a step further, we are focused on growing in new and creative ways that will relieve stress and produce profitable results. The world keeps on spinning, and we are moving into the future along with the nonprofit sector, staying ahead of trends, and reinventing the wheel so that we can share our knowledge and success with the community.

Success does not need to be exhausting, and knowledge can aid in driving the natural and surefire way to move your organization forward. Of course, running an organization is difficult, but with proper knowledge and the latest tips and trends, it can be much less stressful, and your work will not be in vain.

On May 9, we will host the Nonprofit Business Conference. Whether fundraising professionals are younger or older, beginners or seasoned pros, they are feeling undervalued and not appreciated for their efforts to raise money. They are trying to find new donors and maintain relationships with existing donors. Many are quitting one nonprofit job and finding a new one but experiencing the same lack of appreciation.

Nonprofit executive directors, presidents, CEOs, board members, and volunteers can show appreciation by encouraging their fundraising professionals to attend the Nonprofit Business Conference where they will receive support, encouragement, inspiration, and encouragement.

The Nonprofit Business Conference features outstanding nonprofit organizations, leaders and partners within the Southwest Florida region, which includes Lee, Collier, Charlotte, Glades, Sarasota and Hendry counties.

This conference will offer information that you will not want to miss, and you will leave with practical tips and important tidbits to drive your success! You will hear from some of the greatest minds in the nonprofit sector, touching on the following important topics:

  • Strategic Social Media Marketing

  • Financial Best Practices for Small Nonprofits

  • Securing Corporate Sponsorships for Special Events

  • Building a Stronger Board of Directors

  • How to Attract Next Generation Donors

Each panel will discuss important questions relating to the topic at hand, so you can listen in and hear different perspectives. Not only will the conference offer a wealth of information, but it is also an excellent networking opportunity, as organizations from all over the area join together. This is an opportunity you will not want to miss!

As we, as an organization, continue to move forward and continue learning about the best ways to generate success and motivation, we also share that knowledge and explore that knowledge, with you.

We are proud to offer this event, and to learn alongside you!
