About this event

Join nonprofit professionals from across the Rogue Valley for a dynamic, hands-on workshop designed to elevate your fundraising strategy and strengthen regional collaboration. Led by a nationally recognized expert in sustainable fundraising, this session goes beyond the basics to explore modern, values-driven approaches to donor engagement. 

What You’ll Gain: 

• Expert Insights: Learn from a national leader in fundraising about what works today—and what’s changing—in donor relations and nonprofit sustainability. 
• Peer Learning: Hear directly from local organizations about their successes and challenges and discover practical strategies you can apply immediately. 
• Collaborative Connections: Build relationships with fellow nonprofit professionals to foster ongoing support and resource-sharing beyond the workshop. 
• Actionable Tools: Leave with concrete ideas and tools to improve your fundraising outcomes over the next 6–12 months. 
• Strategic Positioning: Explore how your organization can prepare to receive legacy gifts and benefit from the generational transfer of wealth. 

This workshop builds on recent regional trainings focused on institutional fundraising, expanding the conversation to include individual donors and mission-centered storytelling. Whether you’re new to fundraising or looking to refine your approach, this session will help you connect more deeply with supporters and position your organization for long-term success.
