What’s Next in Philanthropy: Creating Your 2027 National Fundraising Strategy (In-Person & Virtual)

Join Access Philanthropy for a forward-looking workshop designed to help nonprofit leaders and fundraisers make sense of how philanthropy is evolving and prepare their 2027 fundraising strategies. Rather than only asking “Who funds us?”, we'll also ask: Who is changing? Where is their funding going? How can MN Nonprofits respond in 2027? We'll explore the trends shaping philanthropy, including post-election funding, artificial intelligence (AI), equity and inclusion in grantmaking, changes in foundation leadership, shifting priorities among national and out-of-state funders, and more. You'll also get an updated look at 100+ funders investing meaningful dollars in Minnesota nonprofits, from major national foundations to family, corporate, and institutional funders. Each profile takes a future-focused approach, examining how the funder’s priorities are changing, what to expect in 2027, and what your organization can do now to position itself for success. Attend in person or online. Join us in person to connect with fellow nonprofit leaders and talk through your questions with AP advisors in the room, or join virtually from anywhere. Choose your ticket type when you register.
