Purposeful Partnership: Listening Deeply, Planning Strategically, and Asking Boldly for Impact

Join us and learn from Tanya Finkbiner, Executive Director of Development for Purdue University’s College of Engineering at the Purdue for Life Foundation, as she guides us through an engaging session on mastering the art of transformational fundraising through intentional listening, collaborative strategy, and courageous asks. This session explores how deep listening strengthens partnerships, how strategic planning invites the donor into the process as a valued team member, and how a bold, well-timed ask can unlock major gifts. Learn how to align internal preparation with donor motivation to create lasting, shared impact.

$20 registration fee includes a catered lunch!
