The forum will address ethical standards in fundraising, sector challenges, and the strategic development of the profession.

Fundraising as a Driver of Change

They tell difficult stories, find solutions in times of crisis, and help organizations achieve financial sustainability. This conference is a space where their role as leaders of solidarity and innovation in the philanthropic sector will be recognized and celebrated.
