Nonprofit Leaders- The Nonprofit Huddle

Nonprofit Leaders- The Nonprofit Huddle

Nonprofit Leaders.

The Nonprofit Huddle is for leaders and staff across our community, creating a dynamic group that regularly hosts meaningful networking and learning experiences for nonprofit staff and board members.

Join Rising Lights Project and The Hope & Grace Foundation for the Launch of The Nonprofit Huddle

Your End of Year Campaign is about so much more than Giving Tuesday!

Our first Nonprofit Huddle will be held on Monday, October 19th at Rising Lights Project. After a quick meet-and-greet, we'll be joined by Empowered Nonprofits for a session on building an integrated End-of-Year Campaign that fits into your larger annual fundraising strategy. 

Stefanie, founder and CEO of Empowered, has over 30 years of consulting experience with nonprofits just like ours. She will explore the donor stewardship cycle, pre-campaign engagement, effective solicitation, and how to use storytelling and data that connects both the head and the heart.

We hope you'll come away with new nonprofit connections and friends, and ideas you can put into action to strengthen your End of Year campaign.

Please RSVP below. Light snacks will be provided

We're excited to meet everyone and learn from each other!
