It&#8217;s an invitation-only summit built specifically for senior nonprofit leaders. Attendees learn about high-impact fundraising strategies, emerging technologies and real-world solutions that they can take back to their teams by the end of the week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hosted annually in Baltimore, this exclusive event brings together a curated group of nonprofit executives for three days of in-depth learning, personalized networking and transformative insight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whether you lead development, technology, donor strategy or digital innovation at your organization, NonProfit POWER offers a rare opportunity to focus, recharge and take action on the priorities that matter most to your mission.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Why Attend NonProfit POWER?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What makes NonProfit POWER different? Unlike sprawling expos or generalist nonprofit gatherings, this summit is designed for executive-level engagement.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">100% of attendees are pre-qualified leaders with budget authority.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Event sponsors cover travel, lodging, meals and activities for invited guests.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All content is designed for strategic thinking, implementation and innovation.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You won&#8217;t be lost in a crowd &#8212; you&#8217;ll be in a room full of nonprofit leaders who are facing similar challenges and seeking new ideas, just like you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;\u200aWhat I like about this conference is the intimacy of the group,&#8221; Deborrah Grulke, assistant director of development and marketing, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mercymedical.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mercy Medical Angels<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, said. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been to the bigger conferences &#8230; but you&#8217;re just one among hundreds or thousands of people. I don&#8217;t think you really get to make as many one-on-one connections &#8212; not only with your nonprofit peers, but with the vendors. You really get the opportunity to learn more about what &#8230; solutions they provide for nonprofits.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is the place where fundraising meets transformation &#8212; and where technology selection and implementation becomes actionable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Located in vibrant Inner Harbor Baltimore, NonProfit POWER&#8217;s venue provides a convenient and walkable hub for leaders traveling from across the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A Summit That Puts You First<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The agenda is built around <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">NonProfit PRO<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8217;s high-impact format to give you access to the people, tools and insights that can immediately move your mission forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1. Expert Sessions and Panels<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Explore key issues facing nonprofits today &#8212; from donor personalization and AI tools to omnichannel engagement and peer-to-peer strategies. Hear from sector leaders and peer organizations solving the same problems you face every day. The 2025 agenda featured keynotes from thought leaders like Shannon McCracken, founding president and CEO of\u00a0<a title=\"Opens in a new window\" href=\"https:\/\/tnpa.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Nonprofit Alliance<\/a>, and Erik Daubert, nonprofit management specialist at the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, both of whom bring decades of sector expertise and a national perspective on the challenges and opportunities nonprofit leaders face today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2. Boardroom-Style Case Studies<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Participate in small-group, vendor-led discussions focused on solutions in action. These are not sales pitches &#8212; they&#8217;re collaborative case studies based on real implementations and measurable results. Best of all, attendees can directly ask vendors their questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;[Sponsors] get to tell you a real-world application of how their product has made a difference for another like organization,&#8221; Grulke, a four-time attendee, said. &#8220;&#8230; \u200aThey were able to funnel it down to &#8216;So here&#8217;s how one organization used our product and how that has made an impact on their fundraising, [and] how it has elevated it.&#8217;&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3. Curated One-on-One Meetings<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You&#8217;ll have the opportunity to pre-schedule one-on-one meetings with solution providers based on your organization&#8217;s current needs. No awkward booths or time-wasting demos &#8212; just strategic, goal-oriented conversations about your organization and its needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;The evolution in the space has been tremendous,&#8221; Joanne Wilson, vice president of advancement operations at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.humaneworld.org\/en\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Humane World for Animals<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, said. &#8220;So I had a number of really good conversations with people about what we could do next.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">4. Unforgettable Networking<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">From dinner at Fogo de Ch\u00e3o to casino night, this event is designed to foster true connection in a relaxed, executive-level environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Who Should Attend?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">NonProfit POWER is ideal for nonprofit leaders at medium- to larger-sized nonprofits, responsible for:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fundraising strategy and donor engagement.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Digital transformation and CRM integration.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Peer-to-peer and event fundraising.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Data, analytics and marketing technology.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The titles of attendees typically include executive director, chief development officer, vice president of digital strategy, head of advancement, chief technology officer and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How to Join the 2026 NonProfit POWER Experience<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Attendance is by invitation only, and spots are limited to ensure a high-quality, focused experience.
