A single director of development not working for you? This extraordinary webinar provides a bird’s-eye view of how a successful nonprofit “culture of philanthropy” works.

The webinar starts with a review of the distinguishing characteristics of 16 grassroots progressive organizations that are also uniquely successful fundraisers. It goes on to feature Ari Wohlfeiler and Melinda Wiggins, representatives from two of those organizations; their groups may be small, but they’re chock-full of fundraisers. The discoveries they made provide a goldmine of guidance to other nonprofits.

Our Voices Are Our Power.

Journalism, nonprofits, and multiracial democracy are under attack. At NPQ, we fight back by sharing stories and essential insights from nonprofit leaders and workers—and we pay every contributor.

Can you help us protect nonprofit voices?
