Canada’s conference with a heart!

Thursday June 12, 2025 11:00am - 12:00pm MDT

Room 426 - 4th Floor

Inspired by the Slow Food movement, Slow Fundraising is an intentional approach that centres on care, connection, and sustainability. It’s not anti-digital or anti-innovation—it’s pro-relationship. This mindset prioritizes deep engagement over shallow reach, long-term trust over short-term ROI, and donor meaning over internal metrics.

In today’s pressure-filled fundraising environment, slowing down can feel radical. But truly transformative fundraising—the kind that builds lifelong donor relationships and generates long-term value—has never been about the quick win.

Join David Kravinchuk of The Common Good fundraising agency to learn about this movement challenging conventional thinking and making the case for depth over speed. You’ll leave with practical ideas to help you build programs that create not just loyal donors, but lasting change.

Learning Objectives:
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Understand the core principles of Slow Fundraising and how they differ from short-term strategies.
- Identify tools and approaches—both classic and digital—that support deep donor relationships.
- Spot opportunities to slow down and deepen their programs’ long-term value.
- Begin advocating for a shift toward sustainable, relationship-centred fundraising inside their organizations.

Target Audience:
- Mid-career and senior fundraisers
- Fundraising leaders balancing digital and relational priorities
- Fundraisers under short-term pressure
- Organizations seeking a sustainable future with the revenue they need to achieve their mission
