A week-long program for emerging and scaling nonprofits.
Save the Dates! October 23-27, 2023
Lisbon, Portugal (Why Lisbon? Because it’s inexpensive and easily accessible from the East Coast! Also, why not???)
- Engaging sessions on Fund Development, Board Development, Organizational Development, Trends in the Nonprofit Sector, Legal Entity Formation, and more.
- Networking opportunities with great minds at other nonprofits
- Tangible takeaways and actionable next steps
- Opportunity for 1-1 sessions
This boutique conference is for anyone thinking of starting a nonprofit, for new/emerging nonprofits, and for long-running nonprofits looking to scale up/build capacity. Sessions will be led by expert consultants with nonprofit experience, and by nonprofit leaders as well. Don’t miss out on the chance to hear proven tactics for success from experts and peers.
In addition to speakers and panels, we’ll also have breakout sessions on:
- Planning a successful fundraising event and attracting sponsors (also incorporating raffles and auctions)
- Developing your grant strategy
- Stewarding your donors
- Creating budgets (General Operating, Program, Project, Capital)
- Developing a Donor Advised Fund strategy
- Fundraising using social media
- Planning for a Capital Campaign
- Deciding when it’s better to outsource (virtual assistants, accounting, grant writing etc.)
The registration includes four conference days (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday) with coffee and traditional Portuguese pastries each morning. Lunch and dinner is on your own — there will be a few optional no-host dinner gatherings — one organized by Girl on the Ground Portugal, and one organized by retired U.S. chef and new Portugal resident, Gordon Naccarato. Wednesday there is a planned (but optional, no-host) trip to a Pena National Palace in nearby Sintra. This will be a relaxing and fun day to get to know other conference attendees and speakers.
Register now to secure your spot! Again, this is a boutique conference — there is only room for 20 participants. Get your spot today! We’ll follow up with more details and about optional dinner gatherings and all of the session details. We’ll also arrange a few Zoom conversations for those wanting information on flight options (we love the Portuguese TAP Air nonstop flights from Boston, New York, New Jersey, Miami, Chicago, and San Francisco!), hotels and Air BnBs, transportation, and fun things to do while in Portugal. Don’t forget even an international work trip is a write off (talk to your accountant, of course).
