Couldn’t make it to this year’s Reimagine? This is your chance to get in on the capacity-building momentum. And if you joined us at the conference, we have a bonus workshop just for you.

Join us for a special post-conference workshop open to everyone, not just conference participants. Led by Susan Eisen, this practical session will explore how nonprofits can attract more non-cash charitable contributions, such as real estate, stock, business interests, personal property, and other valuable assets.

Participants will learn how to identify opportunities for non-cash gifts, communicate these giving options to donors, and understand the key steps to take once a contribution is received. This workshop is designed to help nonprofit leaders, fundraisers, board members, and professional advisors feel more confident in accepting and managing non-cash charitable gifts.

Whether you are new to non-cash giving or looking to strengthen your organization’s gift acceptance practices, this session will provide useful insights and actionable guidance to help your nonprofit expand giving opportunities and maximize donor generosity.
