Table for Ten for Fundraisers (In Person)

Is that grant deadline keeping you up at night? Are you scrambling to gather data for your next progress report? Maybe you're feeling the weight of meeting fundraising targets or navigating the delicate balance of donor relationships. If these challenges resonate with you, you’re not alone. 

Join us for Table for Ten for Fundraisers, where nonprofit fundraisers (or the executive directors who do all the jobs!) come together in a supportive, confidential space to discuss what truly keeps them up at night. Whether it's the pressure of securing major gifts, managing a capital campaign, or simply finding time to recharge, this is your chance to connect with peers who understand the highs and lows of fundraising.

Table for Ten is a unique program designed to foster intimate and candid discussions among nonprofit professionals. These small group sessions, limited to 7-10 participants, provide a confidential and supportive environment for peer-to-peer conversations, problem-solving, and connection. Guided by an experienced consultant, this program offers you the opportunity to openly share your challenges and insights in a trusting space. Participants will convene three times for facilitated discussions, each lasting 1.5 hours. 

Seats are filled on a first-come, first-served basis and are available free to members only. To ensure the continuity and depth of the conversation, participants are expected to commit to all three, in-person sessions. No PowerPoints—just real talk, real support, and real solutions.

Session Dates:

• Session I, Monday, September 23, 10:00 am to 11:30 am.
• Session II, Monday, October 21, 10:00 am to 11:30 am.
