DevelopmentLink

DevelopmentLink is offered at no charge to nonprofit fundraising professionals. Participants focus on fundraising, gift development, and stewardship topics selected by participants, providing opportunities for idea sharing, peer resourcing, and growth in development planning and execution.

At each session, exclusively for nonprofit development professionals, DevelopmentLink participants focus on a self-selected topic facing their organizations, providing opportunities for idea sharing and collaborative partnerships among peers.

Announcements about DevelopmentLink are sent via an email distribution list. If you are a nonprofit development professional interested in joining us for DevelopmentLink, please email Daisy Moran (see at right).

DevelopmentLink is presented in collaboration with AFP-Quad Cities.
