If you’re in development, you have a passion for your organization’s mission. Sometimes in the hustle of daily operations, it’s easy to forget that behind every donation is a person who shares your vision for change.

This series is designed to help you focus on what truly matters—creating meaningful relationships that drive impact, one interaction at a time.

Join us each month to reconnect with what the human side of fundraising really means—and how the right technology empowers you to do that.

• Fundraising Teams- Empowering the People Behind the Work April 17, 2025

  Newsflash: Your fundraising team needs support to meet their goals! This session will help you build (or expand on) a culture of empathy and collaboration, equip your team with effective tools and training, and celebrate their successes. Whether you’re battling burnout or outdated tech, we’ve got you covered.

Your organization’s donor management and accounting solutions are two of the key vehicles that drive your mission forward. When these two vehicles aren’t in sync, challenges like duplicative data entry, inaccuracies, and manual reconciliation can become roadblocks to success. But what if your solutions worked together to eliminate those challenges?

Join Capital Business Solutions and Blackbaud to learn how your organization can save time, reduce errors, and streamline communication between development and finance by leveraging Blackbaud’s integrated donor management and fund accounting solutions, Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT®️ and Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT®️. You’ll get a peek under the hood at the features of both systems and how they help solve some of the most common organizational challenges faced by nonprofits.

A decline in everyday givers and volunteers can have a major impact on civil society. Having a broad base of participation helps promote representative philanthropy, foster deeper social connection, and ensures nonprofits of all sizes are supported in their missions.

Key takeaways:

• Importance of Broad Participation: Understand why a diverse base of donors and volunteers is essential in representing the support for a wide range of charitable causes.
• Overcoming Barriers to Participation: Consider ways to enhance your company’s CSR programs to support employees that may have unique challenges in engaging.
• Building a Culture That Inspires Impact: Learn actionable strategies to increase engagement, such as harnessing leadership involvement, taking Gen Z employees seriously as donors, and introducing micro-volunteering opportunities.
• Innovative Strategies to Drive Generosity: Discover ideas to incentivize and amplify impact, appeal to employees’ passions, and enable engagement despite busy schedules.
