YOU'RE INVITED!
Northeast Wisconsin's National Philanthropy Day Celebration
Wednesday, November 18, 2020, 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
We're going virtual! As you can imagine, we have decided to shift our event from in-person to digital, but we will still celebrate together. As the Association of Fundraising Professionals - Northeast Wisconsin Chapter, we still want to take time out of our busy days to recognize the incredible contributions of philanthropy and the people who remain diligent in the philanthropic community.
Our 2020 National Philanthropy Day Awards Celebration will honor outstanding philanthropists who shape our communities and give with a generous heart. We will also hear from a panel of respected representatives across multiple sectors to gain insight into how their organizations continue to adapt to the changing landscape in 2020 and beyond.

PANEL DISCUSSION: Pushing Through a Crisis and Beyond

Whether it was due to the novel coronavirus or addressing social injustices, this year has turned our world upside down and caused a dramatic shift in how we are operating in nearly every industry. Nonetheless, as fearless fundraisers, we have had to adapt and move forward into the “new normal.” But how? Have you had to shift your mission? What were the financial implications? What should fundraising look like now? Are in-person events a thing of the past? How do you work leaner and do more with less? What does hiring look like now? What happens to your volunteers? Hear from area representatives across multiple sectors to gain insight on how their organizations continue to adapt to the changing landscape in 2020, how they are preparing to move forward and how you can too.
