The Relationship Fundraising Accelerator: Beyond Events
September 28th and 29th

Moving from stagnant philanthropic revenue to sustainable growth

The case for relationship-based fundraising is clear. The Accelerator is what shifts that idea into practice.

Built from years of guiding nonprofits, this framework is:

  • An honest assessment of where your organization stands today: your strengths, your gaps, and where you're already closer to a relationship-based model than you think.
  • A proven framework for sustainable major gift growth.
  • A crawl-walk-run approach that paces the transition to match what your organization can actually absorb, not an arbitrary timeline.
  • Guided worksheets that turn the assessment into a real action plan, with milestones and a way to bring your board and staff along with you.

The full framework comes together in a live, leadership forum, where you'll apply it directly to your own organization alongside other nonprofit leaders.

“It’s clear this framework was built with fundraisers, for fundraisers—thoughtfully addressing the many interconnected elements that shape an organization’s fundraising culture and practice.”

“We left with practical tools we could implement immediately and relationships we’ll continue to draw on. I would highly recommend the Accelerator to nonprofit leaders and development professionals seeking to build or assess a comprehensive, relationship-based (rather than transactional) fundraising strategy.”
