CALL FOR SPEAKERS

SVCN's Funding Your Impact six-webinar summit -- held from May 18-20 (at 11 am and 2 pm daily) -- is an opportunity for nonprofits to get the fund development insights they need to start, sustain, or grow their impact.

SVCN invites submissions from presenters who propose to:
  • Bring innovative fund development approaches to the nonprofit community
  • Update nonprofit leaders on fundraising strategies and tactics in the COVID-19 context
  • Present ideas about saving money and resources in a time of strained nonprofit resources
  • Offer interactive virtual strategies
  • Demonstrate effective and ethical storytelling
  • Discuss creative uses of technology to get the message across

Speakers must present in an educational, non-commercial, non-self-promotional manner. Please, no sales pitches.

We encourage submissions from speakers who represent a wide range of backgrounds and we welcome speakers from outside Silicon Valley.

Use this form to propose your talk. We can't wait to hear your idea!

Deadline April 23.

Please note: SVCN seeks to intentionally incorporate principles of racial justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion into the summit and in our everyday work.
