IDEA in Action – Navigating Fundraising Challenges

presented by Love Odih Kumuyi, Founder/Culture Engineering Officer at Unsiloed

All things equity, diversity, and inclusion are currently caught in a storm. Commitments may flounder due to public pushback in the Court of Public Opinion. While this seems to be the dominant narrative, those committed to the work are still doing the work. In this interactive fundraising workshop, professionals will explore the current state of IDEA, engage in discussion on how to integrate values for inclusion without muscling or smuggling it in, and learn about a systems approach to equity and inclusion in fundraising.

Learning outcomes

This interactive workshop will combine insights, facilitated discussions, and better practices. Participants will have the opportunity to:

• Learn: Gain foundational knowledge of IDEA and its impact on fundraising.
• Discuss: Share real-world challenges and brainstorm solutions for navigating pushback.
• Practice: Develop communication skills to address concerns from donors and sponsors.
• Collaborate: Explore strategies for integrating IDEA into existing fundraising practices.
