Chicago, IL

Join Funraise and AidKit in curating impactful connections between nonprofit executives.

The goal of Funraise Connects is to bring nonprofit leaders and founders together in a relaxed setting to break bread while we network, share ideas, and learn from our peers.

Funraise Connects Chicago will be hosted by Dani Lockard and joined by Brittany Christenson from AidKit.

As former nonprofit fundraisers ourselves, Funraise bases our roadmap on what nonprofiteers need, not what's convenient for us. Reports, support requests, and reviews only tell part of the story. Hearing firsthand about your needs, work, and experiences at our Connects events helps us build better, faster, so that we can lead the way in nonprofit technology. Dani Lockard, an experienced fundraising strategist and Funraise evangelist, takes nonprofit growth very seriously. Since 2018, Dani has been leading nonprofits to success in the digital fundraising space through partnerships with Funraise, giving her the opportunity to work with organizations across the world.

Dinner will be followed by a roundtable discussion with Brittany and Dani.

The cost of the evening will be covered by Funraise and AidKit. Space will be limited, so if you would like to attend this complimentary dinner (and open bar!), please register as soon as possible.

AidKit is the aid infrastructure that helps nonprofits and government agencies deliver fast, fair, and effective programs—ready before disaster strikes, not built in the middle of one. The platform handles the full workflow—applications, eligibility verification, fraud mitigation, and payments—so organizations can focus on the people who need help, not the process. As the CEO of AidKit, Brittany Christenson has distributed more than $400 million to over 110,000 households in 27 states. She has spent her career in service of the idea that technology, built right, can connect people to what they need.
