💡 Featured Speaker at UNITE: AFP Fundraising Collective: Christy Miller

Many fundraising professionals know what their organization needs to grow, but securing the budget, staff, technology, or professional development to make it happen can be one of the toughest conversations they face.

Drawing on new Canadian research from "The Cost of Caution", Christy Miller, Senior Consultant with Global Philanthropic Canada, will explore why under-investment in fundraising often comes at a much greater cost than organizations realize.

In this session, attendees will learn how to reframe fundraising as a strategic investment rather than an administrative expense and build compelling business cases that resonate with executive leadership and boards.

Whether you're seeking approval for a new position, technology investment, campaign resources, or professional development, you'll leave with practical tools you can put to work right away.
