Blueprint for Growth: Diversify Funding and Build Capacity (40 seats)

June 9, 2026 | 2-5 p.m. | 1625 Eye St NW Suite 750, Washington, D.C. 20006

What happens when your biggest funder walks away? This session gives you the tools to reduce that risk. We’ll learn how to diversify your funding, build real capacity and grow with intention.

  • Diversification is risk management. Reduce vulnerability and grow your revenue base.
  • Know your baseline. Pressure-test your funding mix, ROI and capacity before adding anything new.
  • Design a smart mix. Choose funding and capacity strategies that match your size, stage and goals.
  • Focus the strategy. Develop a fundraising plan that your team and board can execute.
  • Signal giving readiness. Show funders you’re a stable investment through clear systems, credible materials and proven capacity.
  • Take action. Leave with an action plan for your next steps.
