Schedule and Sessions

Strong fundraising teams don’t emerge by accident—they are intentionally designed to align strengths, strategy, and sustainability. Yet many fundraising roles expand over time in response to urgent needs and growing revenue expectations. This session helps fundraising leaders step back and intentionally redesign their teams. Participants will explore the PAUSE framework, a practical tool to assess roles, map team strengths, identify capability gaps, and rethink staffing structures. Leaders will also consider when additional capacity requires a full-time hire—or when fractional, contract, or part-time support may be the smarter starting point. Leave with actionable strategies to build sustainable fundraising teams.
