October 12th - 17th

This is more than a conference; it’s a gathering of movement builders, nonprofit visionaries, funders, and fundraising professionals who are reshaping what’s possible for Black- and-Brown led and serving organizations across the country. At a time when the stakes are high and the funding landscape is shifting, Alliance 2025 offers the space, tools, and connection needed to lead with courage, clarity, and creativity. Throughout the week, we’ll focus on what it takes to be Rooted, Reconnected, and Retooled, themes that speak to the real challenges and bold opportunities facing our communities today. Whether you’re here to deepen your strategy, expand your network, or recharge your spirit, this is the place. Come ready to learn, laugh, lead, and leave stronger than you arrived.

Our three themes are:

​

• Rooted: Fundraising for Justice - This track examines how Black- and Brown-led organizations can grow and sustain resources while upholding their values. Sessions focus on equity-centered fundraising strategies that foster trust, honor community relationships, and move beyond transactional models.

• Reconnected: Power in Partnership - We rise stronger when we rise together. This track centers real-world stories and strategies for cross-organizational collaboration, exploring how shared leadership and aligned vision can transform outcomes and build lasting trust.

• Retooled: Innovation in Action - From AI to adaptive planning, this track showcases accessible, forward-thinking tools that enable nonprofits to work smarter—not harder. These sessions empower organizations to integrate innovation in ways that enhance their capacity while staying grounded in their mission.

Through dynamic learning, collaboration, and candid dialogue, the Acceleraise Alliance Conference will empower nonprofit leaders and funders to navigate change, strengthen the ecosystem, and drive equitable impact.
