Nonprofit professionals from across the country gather to discuss new trends and strategies to boost fundraising success.

LAKELAND, fla., March 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Qgiv, a leading provider of digital fundraising software for nonprofits, hosted its first annual conference Feb. 26-28, 2023, at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress in Orlando. The sold-out conference brought together Qgiv clients and industry leaders from Erika’s Lighthouse, VISTE, Bloomerang, DonorPerfect, and more to share fundraising insights and strategies to raise money efficiently and effectively.  

“Qgiv Conference was the first fundraising conference I’ve attended since the pandemic, and it was just what I needed to feel recharged and inspired,” said Amy Dunaway, development director for Blount Memorial Foundation. “I’ve been able to learn so much from the sessions and connect with other fundraisers to brainstorm new fundraising ideas—which has been invaluable!” 

Qgiv Conference attendees were able to join a diverse schedule of CFRE-accredited workshops, all led by expert speakers. Nonprofit founder and consultant, Rachel Muir, led the conference’s opening keynote, providing thought-provoking commentary on the future of fundraising. The conference closed with an unveiling of Qgiv roadmap priorities for the year, including: 

• Enhanced analytics, benchmarking, goal setting, and fundraising intelligence  

• Expanded payment solutions  
• Continued emphasis on features that optimize the donor experience  
• Organizational management tools and reporting enhancements designed to save staff time 

“After years of planning and significant growth as a company, we’re proud to host our first user conference,” said Todd Baylis, CEO of Qgiv, Inc. “Over the past few years, the nonprofit sector has been challenged by an ever-changing fundraising landscape, rocked by the pandemic, the Great Resignation, and now rising costs. Providing an affordable event where nonprofit professionals can hear from industry leaders, share their victories and challenges, and discover the latest trends in nonprofit technology was our top priority.” 

In addition to attending conference sessions, attendees had the opportunity to connect with nonprofit consultants and technology providers in the exhibit hall. Exhibitors ranged from digital agencies to donor management systems and grant databases—all companies that either work exclusively with nonprofits or have heavy involvement in the nonprofit sector. 

“We are thrilled with the success of this year’s conference and are proud to have brought together a group of individuals and organizations dedicated to making a difference in the world,” said Jacqueline Inskeep, Qgiv’s event manager. “The energy, knowledge, and passion shared at the conference was truly inspiring, and we look forward to continuing to support the nonprofit community with innovative solutions, resources, and events.”
