Raising Your Organization's Largest Gifts

The Institute for Transformational Philanthropy is an intimate, practitioner-led experience for senior fundraising leaders and major gift teams navigating an evolving donor landscape.

Over two and a half days, participants will work alongside leading experts including Rebecca Tseng Smith, Ron Schiller, Rob Peacock, and host Doug Earle. Through candid conversation, hands-on portfolio work, and real-world strategy sessions, you’ll explore what today’s donors are asking of us — and how to build the relationships that lead to transformational giving.

This is not a traditional conference. It is a small-group institute designed for teams, where leaders and frontline fundraisers align, develop shared frameworks, and leave with practical strategies to advance their most important donor relationships.

Held in the heart of Waterloo Region, with limited enrollment to ensure meaningful engagement, this is a rare opportunity to step away from the day-to-day and return with the clarity and confidence to unlock your organization’s greatest philanthropic potential.
