Navigating Uncertainty in Fundraising
It seems that every time we turn around there is another enormous challenge facing the nonprofit sector to reach sustainability with revenue generation. This has always been true, and sadly, may always be true. So what can we do?
Join Attain Partners’ Founder and CEO Greg Baroni and Nonprofit Executive in Residence Sterrin Bird in conversation with Gretchen Littlefield, CEO of Moore, and Jon Thompson, Vice President, Philanthropic Strategy & Technology at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, to discuss practical ways that organizations can navigate the continued uncertainty in fundraising, empower their teams to think creatively and persevere despite the headwinds.
Stick around after the panel for a happy hour to network and share ideas for success.
Attain Partners is excited to host our event at China Chilcano by José Andrés, the founder of World Central Kitchen. Attain Partners is proud to have served World Central Kitchen as a client since 2023.
