Get ready for Nonprofit Appreciation Month in November!
Presented by Association of Fundraising Professionals RI Chapter.
National Philanthropy Day recognizes the profound impact that philanthropy has on the fabric of society.
This year’s celebration will take place as a special breakfast gathering, bringing together Rhode Island’s vibrant nonprofit and philanthropic community to recognize the inspiring individuals and organizations who make a difference through giving, volunteering, and leadership. Come enjoy an ample breakfast buffet, connect with peers, and celebrate the power of philanthropy in our state.
Presented by RI Food Policy Council
Rhode Island’s laws affect us all! This free, detailed but approachable educational series is for anyone who wants to know more about local food policy, how it relates to what’s happening nationally and globally, key issues that affect changes, and how to get involved in building a more just and resilient food system for everyone in the Ocean State.
Presented by causevox.
Year-end fundraising can quicks, appeals, social posts, and last-minute asks. But the strongest campaigns start with a clear plan.
In this practical session, Candace Cody, Director of Partnerships + Events at CauseVox, will walk nonprofit leaders through how to reflect on past performance, set realistic fundraising goals, choose the right channels and strategies, and map out a year-end communications plan your team can actually execute.
Attendees will leave with a simple framework to turn year-end goals into action, strengthen the donor journey, and head into GivingTuesday and December with a plan instead of a scramble.
Presented by Nonprofit Learning Lab.
Join us to explore how fundraisers can use AI and automation to make donor outreach more timely, personalized, and authentic. We’ll share strategies on how to streamline donor communications, tailor outreach based on donor information and engagement, and use AI to save time without losing the human connection that makes fundraising effective. We’ll highlight Keela’s new Automation solution and how it can help nonprofits build more consistent donor engagement and strengthen giving results.
Presented by Digital Science
In this free webinar, leaders from research-focused foundations will share how they’re looking beyond the application to make more informed funding decisions.
You’ll learn how funders are using a broader view of the research landscape to:
Identify gaps and emerging opportunities
Evaluate proposals and investigators in context
Make more strategic portfolio decisions
Follow the influence of funded research beyond publication
