Summary:

It's time we have a much needed session about the changing landscape of fundraising. Join Frank Velásquez Jr. as he celebrates the transformative shift from donor-centric to community-centric and how something he calls collective impact fundraising™ (CIF) builds on that movement. CIF adds an interpersonal layer where every stakeholder, from donor to community member to fundraiser to client, has a role.

He will unpack the practical strategies, challenges, and successes in redefining philanthropic relationships that center community expertise and collective impact. Discover how stakeholder relationships intersect and drive collective impact together. Leave with a relational framework that strengthens your donor and client relationships and revolutionizes your fundraising approach.
