08/20/2026

Fundraising isn't the responsibility of one department. It works best when leadership, development, and governance are pulling in the same direction.

Tom Wick, TWB Senior Counsel, and Anne Smith, TWB Senior Vice President, built a framework and hands-on workshop to help leadership teams step back, align, and focus on what actually drives long-term philanthropic growth.

Each organization's registration includes up to three leaders: your CEO or Executive Director, your development leader, and a board representative.

If your gala numbers have leveled off, your golf outing has stopped growing, or your donor checks just seem to hover in the same range, you're not doing anything wrong. Sometimes, it's not about which events you run. It's about the relationships underneath them.

After nearly two decades of running the Management Fellows Program, Tom Wick, TWB Senior Counsel, explores what's behind the fundraising plateau in his new blog, Breaking Through Your Nonprofit's Ceiling.

Curious what's really capping your growth? The answer might not be where you think. Read the full breakdown:

Transform your nonprofit's fundraising by shifting to a relationship-based approach for sustainable growth and deeper donor engagement.

What if you could re-engage the people who visited your website but never gave?

That's digital retargeting — it gives you a way to stay visible after they've moved on.

TWB President and CEO Donald Souhrada is hosting a free Lunch & Learn on Wednesday, June 17 to break it down, joined by Chris Crane from Feathr and Kristin Cheuvront from LUNGevity Foundation, who'll share how her team uses it for donor acquisition and event promotion on a limited budget.

No demo pressure. No sales follow-up. Just real answers.
