This Quarter’s Event
More Mission
Than Money.
Navigating marketing in an AI world—and setting your organization up for success in 2027.
Your nonprofit has a meaningful mission, limited resources and more marketing advice than you know what to do with. Now AI has entered the conversation.
Should you trust it? Where should you begin? And what can your organization afford to get wrong?
What You’ll Learn
Clarity you can put to work.
Marketing strategist and alignment coach Liliana Grace will lead a practical conversation about the decisions nonprofit leaders cannot afford to get wrong.
Use AI thoughtfully
Understand how to leverage AI effectively without losing your organization’s voice or judgment.
Build on the right foundation
Learn what every successful marketing campaign needs, regardless of budget.
Align the inside and outside
See how your internal culture and communication shape your external marketing.
Prepare for 2027
Leave with clear priorities and practical next steps for the year ahead.
A strategy session designed around your organization.
In-person attendees will have the opportunity to schedule a complimentary strategy session with Liliana after the event, focused on internal alignment, external marketing or both.
Connections
You don’t need to do more alone.
You need to know more of the right people.
Collaborate brings nonprofit professionals into the same room to build real relationships, understand one another’s work and discover new ways to serve the community together.
The person with the answer, resource, introduction or experience you need may already be working just a few miles away. Collaborate helps you find one another.
