What If Conference

The 2021 WHAT IF Conference is the largest gathering of nonprofit partners in Northern California.

Keynote speaker Lynn Malzone Ierardi is a national leader in charitable gift planning and author of Storytelling: The Secret Sauce of Fundraising Success. Lynn will open What IF 2021 on Tuesday morning and on Thursday will present her fundraising workshop that dives deep into the art of telling your story with the goal of making the biggest impact.

Marisa DeSalles, an emerging thought leader at the intersection of fundraising, diversity, and technology, will open our Thursday session with a panel discussion, Fostering a Sense of Abundance for Nonprofits. Here we will explore how organizations can change their mindsets around resources and scarcity and start acting collectively to nurture growth and opportunity.

We will also feature new and tried-and-true presenters on subjects ranging from telling your story with data to cultural intelligence, from community-centric fundraising to online auctions, and so much more.

Attending WHAT IF will ignite and rejuvenate your passion to make a difference in your community.
