Nonprofit organizations play a vital role in strengthening our communities and improving lives at home and around the world. Today, nonprofit leaders are navigating unprecedented challenges, including sustained pressure on our work under the current administration. Now more than ever, we need to rethink how we lead, remain resilient and adaptable, and respond as the systems shaping our sector evolve rapidly. This year’s Hank Rosso Forum centers the power of the fundraising community to come together, mobilize, and sustain impact during this pivotal moment.
Join us for an inspiring morning of collective wisdom as we explore how we can break away from the mindset of stress and scarcity and envision new ways to move our mission forward. Fundraisers of all levels of experience are encouraged to attend, as are executive directors, board members and key volunteers. You will leave feeling inspired and with helpful ideas you can put to use right away.
Inspired by the late, legendary Henry “Hank” Rosso, the Hank Rosso Forum celebrates the rebel spirit that characterized Hank’s 50-year career as a fundraiser and thought leader. He disrupted the field by advocating for the training of development directors, executives, board members, and volunteers, and in the process transformed the fundraising field.
