APC Virtual Winter Forum 2026: Mission Possible!

Your mission, should you choose to accept it: Join fellow nonprofit philanthropy consultants from across the country for two energizing days of professional growth, connection, and inspiration at the APC Virtual Winter Forum, January 29–30, 2026.

No travel. No hassle. Just big ideas, fresh strategies, and meaningful conversations, all from the comfort of your desk. Members and non-members welcome!

Topics will include:

• • Fundraising in Volatile Markets: A panel discussion moderated by Michael Rubin, CFRE, will feature perspective from three varied philanthropy perspectives: Eli Sugarman, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation; Deborah Dubin, CAP, Chief Development Officer with Moneta; and David Hutchison, Chief Development Officer with St. Louis Public Radio.
  • The Intersection of A.I., Trust & Ethics In Philanthropy: National expert Mallory Erickson navigates new territory to help our APC family more intentionally and ethically utilize A.I. resources in our practices.
  • The Business of Getting New Business: Curious what’s working in the business development strategies of others in the field? This session will be built upon a zippy survey of APC members, followed by a discussion featuring three sizes & shapes of firms: solo practitioner, medium-sized, and large-scale firm.
  • Planned Giving From A Donor’s Perspective – Pragmatic Steps & Effective Strategies: Christy Boysen Coulter, a leader in planned giving, will update us on recent changes related to planned giving, and how to elevate the role this game-changing arm of philanthropy can play at many nonprofits.
