Year-End Corporate Fundraising Summit

Join thousands of nonprofit professionals on September 16-17 to secure the year-end surge and elevate your corporate fundraising strategy.

Secure Your Spot

Join us September 16-17, 2026

The final months of the year are a gold rush for nonprofit funding, but the real secret to a record-breaking finish lies in your corporate partnerships.

Join us for the first-ever, free virtual Corporate Volunteering Summit, designed to help nonprofit leaders capture year-end revenue and secure long-term value before the December 31 deadline.

Year-end is the peak season for corporate social responsibility. This summit is your dedicated space to learn how to transform seasonal holiday service into a year-round engine for growth, ensuring that every corporate volunteer becomes a lifelong champion for your mission.

You will walk away with a roadmap to:

  • Unlock Year-End Revenue: Activate corporate volunteer grant programs to monetize holiday service hours before fiscal years close
  • Solidify Corporate Alliances: Transition "one-off" holiday volunteers into deeply invested, multi-year partners
  • Communicate Impact with Precision: Learn how to report year-end results so clearly that partners are eager to renew their commitments for the coming year
  • Learn from the Leaders: Hear real success stories from peers who have successfully leveraged year-end momentum to drive massive volunteer engagement

Don’t let the year-end surge pass you by. Join us to refine your approach, expand your network, and ensure your organization enters the new year with unprecedented momentum.
