Event Details

Philanthropy is a powerful force in sustaining and advancing rural healthcare. This session highlights the high return on investment philanthropy delivers—often exceeding that of clinical operations—and explores how major and planned gifts can transform organizations. Attendees will learn how to focus limited resources on high-impact fundraising strategies, align philanthropy with organizational goals, and engage the small percentage of donors who drive the majority of contributions.
