More than 300 delegates from the nonprofit sector and supporting professions gathered at the beginning of September in the beautiful Giardini Naxos, Sicily, for the first ASSIF Fundraising To Say conference.
Promoting fundraising as a vehicle of development, the four-day national event saw 40 speeches and 16 workshops led by art directors, social communicators, companies, small and large nonprofit organisations, foundations, volunteer service centres, and storytellers, as well as copywriters, consultants, service providers, communication agencies, volunteers and artists. Each spoke about the meaning of giving – and fundraising – and how they can pave the way for a different, more inclusive and equal society.
The event was coordinated by fundraising consultant and ASSIF member Letizia Bucalo, supported by the ASSIF Board and a group of 30 member volunteers.
“Every face, every voice, every meeting was decisive in the construction of Fundraising to Say,” said Bucalo. “We responded to the need for an event that could be an inspiration for everyone, not only for fundraisers, but for every profession that supports and works with nonprofits, and meet a desire to share, to network, and to work more closely together.”
More news and pictures from the event can be found on the ASSIF Facebook page, with the next edition of Fundraising To Say due in 2023.
