Breakout Session Presentation
Gretchen Villegas, CEO of NEXUS Strategy & Growth Partners, shared a bold vision for the future of fundraising. Her talk, “Rethinking Fundraising,” challenged organizations to move beyond traditional donor models and embrace investment-aligned strategies that prioritize sustainability, dignity, and cross-sector collaboration. By aligning social good with measurable returns, she highlighted how nonprofits can attract long-term partners, not just funders—ultimately raising impact, not just dollars.
