Beyond the Grant: Building a Stronger Fundraising Strategy in Today’s Economy
Date: October 22, 2026
Time: 12:30pm - 2:00pm EST Many nonprofits view grants as the primary solution to their funding needs.

The session will help nonprofit leaders move beyond a grant-only mindset and identify practical fundraising strategies that align with their mission, relationships, and organizational capacity. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of their current funding mix and practical steps to build a stronger, more sustainable fundraising strategy.
