About the conference

We know that sometimes planning a fundraising event isn’t easy, but we also know that done well, events have the power to connect more donors to your work. That’s why we created the Elevate Conference, to bring our community together and take some of the guesswork out of planning a successful fundraising event. 

Join us for Elevate 2025 on March 12 + 13 . This hybrid fundraising conference will be hosted at AVENUE in Portland, Oregon and broadcast online for virtual attendance. We’ll share practical tools you can implement right now to elevate your storytelling, fundraising strategy and donor experience.
