groups to pivot and completely revisit their fundraising and development strategies. Join us for this virtual mini-con to hear about some of these strategies and programs. It is our hope that you will be inspired to replicate an idea or two from our mini-con and build
those budgets back up. And the mini-conference is free!</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
