In our day-to-day work as fundraisers, it is easy to get stuck in the checklist of things that need to get done TODAY. Proper planning and strategy, which can make a significant positive impact on the relationships we build and our success in the long-term, often get pushed to the back-burner.
We are here to change that: really!

Creative problem solvers, city leaders, and educators — from the public, private or non-profit sectors — who are committed to educating and inspiring youth, revitalizing urban green space, or are seeking solutions to renew disinvested neighborhoods. When teams from different places working on the same local issues share their experiences together, that’s when the magic happens.
Who else could join us? While our focus is urban, we are sharing best practices for running a successful, growing non profit. Our model becomes relevant for nature centers and community centers serving children, as well as intergenerational programs, agriculture organizations that focus on education and community building, and university programs. This is a roots-and-stems, hands-on practical workshop that will be useful for many.
