In other words, they don’t provide the same old, tired solutions to nonprofit challenges.

Why should you attend the P2P 201 Conference?

The conference will provide participants with best practices around P2P.

How can I afford to go to this conference?
Let me close this article on P2P Conference 201 by saying this about fees. I recognize that many organizations operate on limited budgets. However, I think if you follow my blog you are someone who believes in growth and sustainability as it is something I write about often on my blog.
I’ve been in your shoes. When I started the nonprofit I founded years ago, I worked with my team from the kitchen table. But we also knew that growing the organization to scale was crucial to our vision for broad impact. That means you need to think creatively about getting the funds for the things that matter, like attending professional development conferences that will help you gain the skills you need to grow your organization by earning more fundraising dollars online. the door.
Ask a major donor to personally fund this aspect of your work and demonstrate the impact of your gift by showing the increased fundraising dollars you will raise through peer fundraising. You can also simply budget money from your general operating funds or ask a foundation for a professional development grant. Whatever you decide to do, make it a priority.
With the fall now upon us, if you are looking for the conferences to attend during the year, this would be one of them.
