Fundraising Day 2022 – Call for Speakers
Theme: IDEAs for CHANGE
Are you or your organization looking to make lasting impact across the fundraising sector? Join us as we explore how organizations and fundraisers are incorporating inclusion, diversity, equity, and access (IDEA) into their operations and fundraising practices.
What are we doing to ensure our work reflects the various communities we serve? What steps are organizations taking to make their hiring practices more inclusive? How are we de-colonizing philanthropy? These are some of the many conversations we are looking to lean into.
The time is now! We need to further reflect on where we are as a sector and engage in opportunities to have open and honest dialogues that challenge us to do better. Join us as we seek to disrupt!

In order to encourage complete and high-quality submissions, all submissions must include detailed session descriptions, speaker bios and headshots (this requires you to sign-in to Google to complete the form in order to upload your materials).
