Founded in 1980, Fundraising Day in New York City is recognized as the premier one-day conference on fundraising leadership and philanthropy. Over the past three and one-half decades it has provided a venue for thousands of fundraisers, and not-for-profit leaders from throughout the United States and overseas to network, take part in forty or more educational programs, workshops, and panel discussions—as well as meet with industry exhibitors and receive career mentoring. All of this in one day—and under one roof!
