Why should you attend the Fundraising Conference?

The Fundraising Conference is the only event in Romania that brings together 150 practitioners in community fundraising, for two days in Cluj-Napoca! The event develops each year and brings into discussion the newest and most successful experiences in this field.

The conference represents a meeting point for practitioners to interact and keep abreast of fundraising practice in Romania. The conference offers 20 seminaries and plenaries that cover theoretical and practical aspects related to fundraising and the regional trends.

Our goal is that people leave the conference with new ideas, energy and enthusiasm for the work they undertake in organizations.

“For us, taking part in this event meant consolidating our fundraising team, helped us in shaping a more coherent and clear fundraising strategy and filling up the reservoir of ideas and enthusiasm that are so necessary in our activity!”

For 7 years we have been bringing together fundraisers and CSR representatives from companies and organizations throughout the entire country! The image of fundraising in Romania is shaped by regional trends which are presented and discussed during each edition by special guests that come from countries with relevant practice for Romania: Hungary, the Czech Republic, Russia, Great Britain.

During the conference, the environment is open, interactive and offers the space for laying the foundations of new partnerships and collaborations, consulting those with experience in different specialized areas, knowing other organizations in the country and finding out the latest news regarding fundraising.

What do participants say about the conference?

“The conference granted me access to the experiences of some professionals in the field, respectively to the experiences and opinions of colleagues from the nonprofit sector.”

“I found useful the presence of large companies’ representatives, who described the fundraising experience also from their perspective."

“I attended the conference to confirm myself that we are on the right track; to find novelties and new experiences, especially success stories.”
