Today's Nonprofit Fundraising Summit in Eugene sparked many engaging conversations! A huge thank you to all the presenters who generously shared their knowledge with nearly 250 nonprofit professionals who joined us for the day. We look forward to showcasing more photos from this successful event! Here's a snapshot of our opening plenary session led by NAO’s Jennifer Monegan, featuring panelists Samhir Vasdev (Dev Design), Anne Murphy (Empowered Fundraiser), and Tristan Penn (NTEN). They offered valuable insights on ethically using AI tools to enhance donor engagement, streamline fundraising processes, improve grant writing efficiency, and more. We also express our gratitude to our closing panel, which included prominent local foundations: Tyler Hobbs (Marie Lamfrom Charitable Foundation), Jennifer Groth (M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust), Lyn Wong Hunter (Philanthropy Northwest), Erin Dysart (Meyer Memorial Trust), Patrick Hosfield, and Peter Kukla (The Oregon Community Foundation). They shared vital information about their foundations' histories, funding priorities, and grantmaking practices.
