Events
Talks and trainings to support fundraising success and fulfilling work
We care as much about the individual experience of facilitating giving as we do about successful fundraising. Our talks and training are based on the science of social capital and how it can make giving a meaningful experience for donors - but also a wonderful professional experience for fundraisers.

Keynote
Build a conference around one of our topics on the The Social Capital Fundraising Model, the role of philanthropy in community well-being, philanthropy ethics, and more.
Conferences
Let us present our research in the field of Philanthropic Studies and our models for successful fundraising.
Workshops
We can customize The Social Capital Fundraising Model for your organization or professional association.
Popular Topics
The Social Capital Fundraising Model
The Social Capital Fundraising Model is an example of the application of scientific discovery about human behavior to philanthropic giving. This approach to fundraising retains donors over the long term, and it has been shown to increase giving. Trainings and talks break down the science behind the model and demonstrate how to apply it in your fundraising efforts.
philanthropy on community well-being
The impact of philanthropy on community well-being is another one of our favorite topics. Increase the value of your organization in your community and set yourself up for support by providing service that really matters to your stakeholders. Trainings and talks guide nonprofit organizations and professionals to discovering the places where community needs and desires intersect with nonprofit missions.

Our Communication Mission
Fundraisers need support to connect donors to critical philanthropic missions. We want to share what we know about better models for donor engagement, more humane and empowering management models for fundraisers, and how to build cases-for-giving that integrate ethics and respect for all those involved in giving and receiving.
Interested in the history of philanthropy, the economic role of the nonprofit sector, philanthropy ethics, nonprofit organizations, or leadership? Let us know what you want to learn more about, and we will customize a training or talk for you.
Our Most Recent Event
