CALL FOR SPEAKERS

SVCN's Funding Your Impact five-webinar summit--held in August 2020 (10:00am on Thursdays, from August 6 through September 3)--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!

Rolling deadline.

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