Spring conference season flew by, but the conversations we had are still top of mind. The Donorbox team enjoyed meeting up with nonprofit partners at:
🐾 HumanePro's Animal Care Expo — Pittsburgh, PA
🎨 Create Good Conference — Durham, NC
💡 Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) ICON — San Diego, CA
🏊 NAYDO — Long Beach, CA
🌲 Nonprofit Association of Washington Conference — Tacoma & Spokane, WA
🏛️ American Alliance of Museums Annual Meeting — Philadelphia, PA
Between all the sessions, networking lunches, and chats at our booth, we noticed a few common themes that are top of mind for organizations right now, including:
💡 “We’ve always done it this way” isn’t enough anymore.
From events to technology, organizations are taking a closer look at what’s working and what’s not.
🤝 Community matters.
Leaders are focused on building stronger relationships with supporters beyond a single donation or event.
⚙️ Tool fatigue is real.
Teams are looking for ways to reduce complexity, streamline work, and spend less time managing disconnected systems.
