EARLY REGISTRATION

Welcome to Orlando! Today is all about travel and getting settled into your beautiful room at the Rosen Centre. After you get settled, you will want to walk over to the Funding Your Mission Live 2023 check-in station to take advantage of the early registration booth, so you can skip the lines and avoid the Friday morning registration crowd.

DAY 1


We kick off FYM Live with a focus on attracting funding, lots of funding! Many nonprofit leaders know how to do good work and make a genuine impact, but do not necessarily know how to attract the funding they need to sustain. We will teach you strategies to attract, grow, and maintain predictable revenue for your organization so you can fully fund your work.
