It’s not just another event… IT’S A MUST-SEE EXPERIENCE

Something extraordinary happens when nonprofit leaders step away from the daily grind and gather with a shared purpose: to learn how to raise serious money. That’s exactly what takes place at a Major Gifts Ramp-Up Conference.

With more than 20,000 nonprofit executives already in attendance nationwide, this event is unlike anything you've experienced before. It combines unbounded enthusiasm, comic timing, and theatrical delivery with real-world fundraising expertise that will challenge everything you thought you knew about development.

Led by a faculty of fundraising veterans who’ve raised over $1 billion, this two-day experience delivers a step-by-step plan to build your case for support, engage top donors, activate your board, and secure major gifts with confidence.
