Your mission is important and there are hundreds of thousands of philanthropic dollars available to underwrite the good work you and your team do every day. That’s why you’ll want to REGISTER NOW for an upcoming MAJOR GIFTS RAMP-UP EVENT

Bring your entire team! Spend time with fundraising veterans who’ve raised millions and will inspire your leadership to build financial capacity in ways you’ve never dreamed possible.
MAJOR GIFTS RAMP-UP is not nonprofit management 101! NDI’s world renowned faculty will entertain, inspire and test your fundraising acumen (don’t forget to bring as many board members as possible!). These events will ensure you RE-IMAGINE PHILANTHROPY in a way that transforms both you and the organization you serve.
