RAISE 2018, presented by OneCause, combines interactive learning and hands-on application to create a unique conference experience. For two days, nonprofit fundraisers learn industry trends, exchange best practices and engage with peer professionals to maximize fundraising performance. “There is a need in the fast-paced fundraising world to gather as a community and share success strategies. With Raise, we want to give nonprofits a platform to gather, interact, engage and exchange with one another,” said Steve Johns, CEO.
