About the Event

The Quaker Fundraisers Gathering is a biennial educational and networking conference for fundraising professionals and volunteers working in Quaker schools, organizations, meetings, and churches. Friends Fiduciary Corporation has coordinated and sponsored the event since 2004, working with a volunteer planning group each year composed of Quaker fundraisers that guide, shape, and assist with the Gathering.

Each Gathering provides a wide range of valuable learning and networking opportunities with dynamic speakers and presenters offering both formal and informal learning opportunities throughout the Gathering.

New for 2018

The 2018 Gathering will include Quakers New to Fundraising/Fundraisers New to Quakerism. Sessions in this track will be designed to specifically focus on issues unique to monthly meetings, which often rely on volunteers in their fundraising efforts. Topics will include the basics of planned giving, how t minute gifts to your meeting or church, and increasing membership as a tool for increased giving.

For more experienced fundraisers who are new to a Quaker setting, sessions will highlight the unique intricacies of fundraising for a Friends organization—answering, or at the very least discussing, those age-old questions of why raffles are challengings and what do you mean I can’t have the building named after me? The diverse groups will begin the Gathering on Sunday afternoon (3:00-4:30pm) in a combined session to foster peer-to-peer learning.
