Halted by a pandemic, AFP-NYC's signature event 'Fundraising Day In New York' has transformed into PhilanthroCon. Don't miss out!
If you are a frequent reader of this blog, then you know one thing. I love Fundraising Day In New York (FRDNY). Pre-pandemic, AFP-NYC would host its signature event drawing roughly 2,000 people with over 70 exhibitors. The nation’s largest one-day conference on philanthropy and the only one of its kind, Fundraising Day was an event not to be missed. Then in 2020, when the pandemic hit us like a ton of bricks, we had to shift gears and reimagine the ways we could get information out to our members.
Now, in 2021, the horizon has not changed. Events are still virtual and work from home orders are still issued. While we are hopeful for a brighter 2022, we have now rebranded FRDNY into PhilanthroCon, a two day opportunity for fundraising professionals to connect virtually with experts from across multiple fundraising disciplines, including direct response, major gifts, planned giving, marketing, and more. Still an event not to be missed if you ask me!
As a proud board member of AFP-NYC and organizer of this year's conference, I'd like to share a bit more about the content I am curating along with the help of my fabulous room hosts.

Mentorship plays a crucial role in career advancement for early career fundraisers.

Often it is only when people switch jobs that they are able to progress in their careers.

It will also explore the question of how we can ensure diversity, equity and inclusion within the fundraising industry.
