AFP NS, Nova Scotia Chapter Event: Maritime Fundraising Conference 2026
September 28, 2026 | 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Join us for this year’s MFC, presented by DonorPerfect, on Monday, September 28, 2026, at the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 in Halifax. This year’s conference will bring together fundraisers and nonprofit professionals for a full day of connection, learning, and growth.
For more than 35 years, the Maritime Fundraising Conference has been a cornerstone for learning and connection in our region’s not-for-profit community. This year’s theme, “Stronger Together,” highlights the power of collaboration as fundraisers and organizations respond to change, strengthen relationships, and look toward what’s next.
Designed for fundraisers at every career stage, MFC26 will offer practical, relevant sessions focused on today’s fundraising environment and the opportunities ahead. The tentative schedule includes sessions on leadership, donor engagement, direct response, storytelling, major gifts, planned giving, impact reporting, funder perspectives, and leading through uncertain times.
You’ll leave with fresh ideas, practical tools, and valuable new connections to support your work well beyond the event.
