Feeding the Movement: Insight from the Leaders in the Food/Hunger Sector
A Special WeWork Dupont Circle Event for Donors, NGOs, Non-Profits, Heads
of Development, Marketers and Fundraisers
GDP giving rate has plateaued at 2%. Anti-globalism threatens progress in hunger and poverty initiatives. Turnover among fundraising staff is increasing. Technology alone does not lift us out of poverty. Ensuring the financial health of the average NGO or socially-driven private company can be just as hard (or harder) than fulfilling the mission. But this the job of todays fundraisers and development professionals.
Join us on Aug 29th to learn how those in the Food/Food Safety/Hunger sector ensure they"feed" their own organizations so their organizations can"feed" their movements.
Our expert panel comes together on the evening of Aug 29th to discuss:
1. What makes fundraising efforts hard today, but also what makes them easy.
2. What challenges we all face delivering on these projects and how can donors help.
3. Best practices in outreach, marketing, and communications that help anyone spark and FEED a movement!
Join us for an evening of networking and a panel discussion with peers and industry leaders who are shaking up the Food/Hunger development game. We’ve carefully selected an incredible lineup of panelists who are prepared to share new strategies, insights and know-how to take your growth, development and partnerships to the next level.
