Fundraising is hard. Finding trainings that are applicable in the real world and figuring out how to use them without unlimited staff and budget is even harder. So we set out to create a fundraising conference that empowers those of us who fight “other duties as assigned” in order to do the one thing we love: telling stories and building relationships with donors.

But recently, the world turned on it's collective head - and COVID-19 has thrown nonprofits for a loop. Uncertainty in uncharted territory has fundraising leaders needing help, direction, motivation and the tools to get through this global pandemic.

In person events, for the forseeable future, are on hold. And nonprofits need help NOW - not in July as originally planned.

So we made a massive pivot - and are producing this event online.

Not only can we reach more individuals who are looking for answers but we added incredible speakers, and amazing perks to help support local restaurants, small businesses, artists and musicians!

We're Supporting Others Too

Each person that registers will have lunch delivered to them from a locally owned restaurant to help make sure we support those small businesses that are struggling as much as nonprofits are. Upon registration, we'll send a list of restaurants we are partnering up with to select a lunch item, delivered to you (we're including a tip!) in time for you to watch the Keynote Panel, Ladybosses of the Nonprofit World.

Additionally, we are are supporting local (and regional!) artists and musicians who will perform in between speakers. We are encouraging you to support them by providing direct links to their sites to donate, buy or conenct on how you can help.

Keynote Panel You Say?

This year, we are featuring some of the baddest ass female leaders in the nonprofit world to share their stories on how they are tackling the old-gaurd and good ol' boys club in the world of philanthropy. The panel will be facilitated by Fargo-Moorhead's own Ladybossses, Danyel Moe and Laura Caroon. It is sure to be an eye opening and amazing conversation - where you are encouraged to engage with questions!

We've Got This

We're dedicated to getting this information to you and your organization and helping get through this together. It's why we are going virtually. It's why we are bumping up the date from our original in July. 

It's gonna rock.

One Day. One Unique Conference. One killer way to change your mindset to an “Oh hell yeah I can do this!” attitude.

Our inaugural event was a smashing success from the diversity of topics, fantastic speakers, wonderful food, inviting atmosphere and attending to the little details. Our goal was to put on an event for nonprofit leaders that defied the norms of your typical conference – and it was a blast.

But we’re just getting warmed up. And in a time of crisis, we think that these messages and ideas need to be heard sooner than later to help get nonprofits of all size through these bizzare times!

We’re excited to bring you an event that leaves you a better nonprofit fundraising, board member or executive. And have a heck of a lot of fun doing it.

Welcome to the Do Gooders Conference. A fundraising training with practical advice, tips and tricks you can use the very next day to make organizations philanthropically awesome.
