We’re pleased to announce that MGRU is hosting a Major Gifts Ramp-Up Conference on May 6th-67th, 2026 in Columbus, OH!
Fundraising training events of this quality are typically priced at $1,200+ per person. Even our own events are normally $248 for one attendee or $498 for unlimited registrations. But thanks to a generous partnership with a group of major donors, we’ve done our best to reduce the financial barrier as much as possible to enable every nonprofit, large or small, to attend for a minimal investment.
Why? Because we believe money chases after ideas, and our big idea is ensuring every organization accesses these fundraising tools to scale their mission.
Normal Pricing:
$248 ONE PERSON…$498 UNLIMITED
LIMITED TIME PRICING: $97 ONE PERSON…$197 UNLIMITED!
More than 19,000 nonprofit executives from across the U.S. have already attended a Major Gifts Ramp-Up event. THEY LOVE THESE CONFERENCES (and so do their boards!). Why? Because this fast-paced, provocative training is tailored to the audience in the room.
Prepare to hear the truth in ways you’ve never experienced before—learning directly from practitioners who rejected conventional thinking and rebuilt the fundraising playbook from the ground up.
But here’s what makes this event an experience like no other…
For the first part of each day, you’ll learn in an interactive lecture setting, absorbing the exact strategies that have helped nonprofits raise billions of dollars over the past 30 years. Then, as the afternoon winds down, we take you straight into a hosted happy hour, where hors d’oeuvres and drinks are on us! It’s your chance to relax, connect, and dive deeper into your mission with MGRU Counselors and fellow nonprofit leaders with years of hands-on fundraising experience. These conversations often become the spark that ignites entire campaigns!
Major Gifts Ramp-Up is a live in-person (or virtual) financial capacity-building conference designed to challenge everything you think you know about raising money.
MGRU is all about nonprofit capacity-building. As a 501(c)(3), you have a unique advantage: the ability to secure funding from donors, corporations, and foundations who already care about the population you serve. Your mission matters! And we want to show you just how deep and wide the river of philanthropy truly is. There is far more funding available than your organization could ever exhaust, ready to underwrite the good work you do every day.
CLAIM YOUR SEAT TODAY for this upcoming Major Gifts Ramp-Up Conference—and experience a training event unlike anything you’ve ever attended!
We look forward to meeting you personally!
