Conferences & Events

Conference on LGBT Engagement

and Fundraising Strategies

The Council for Advancement and Support of

Education will hold its Conference on LGBT En-

gagement and Fundraising Strategies March 1–2,

2016, in Washington, D.C.

According to CASE, the conference will present

a strategic conversation about engaging and fund-

raising practices for lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans-

gender alumni. The LGBT community is growing in

visibility and formal acceptance, the group said. The

total buying power of this community is projected to

be more than $790 billion, and surveys indicate that

the LGBT community is especially likely to consider

supporting charitable organizations for which they

are committed with a planned gift. Participants will

learn how their institutions and organizations can

better welcome and integrate this community into

their educational advancement practices.

Registration fees range from $400 up to $605,

depending on membership status and date of

registration.
