Coming into town on Thursday? Join us at an informal dinner Thursday evening.

Don't forget to attend Rai$e the Roof: Celebrating Movement on Friday night!

Join us for the only national conference in the country that brings social justice organizations together specifically to talk about fundraising and how to resource our movements!

“A refreshing look at grassroots fundraising - a way to reenergize the tools needed to sustain the movement.” 

“I feel much more able and enthusiastic to inspire folks in my organization to see fundraising as movement building and organizing.” 

“This conference has given us the energy and ideas to make big changes.”
