Whether you’re a budding social innovator or a seasoned nonprofit professional, fundraising is a critical activity for the sustainability of your organization. Join Tsai CITY, Dwight Hall, and KNOWNPRENEURS for an interactive workshop where you’ll explore funding models, tailor your pitch, and develop your donor network.

Every fundraising strategy, just like every organization, is unique. We will ensure that each participant knows how to tailor their approach based on their organization’s mission and objectives. We will also focus on funding models beyond traditional philanthropy and grant writing, including crowd-funding, social impact investments, and partnership support. The goal is for each participant to leave with a clear next step on how they can meet their fundraising goals and create a strategy that will work for them.
