Masterclasses at IFC 2025: Driving real-world solutions with agility, purpose, and equity
Covering a range of topics from capital campaigns and faith-based fundraising to systems thinking and artificial intelligence, masterclasses have been selected to address the most pressing needs affecting our sector right now. Held ahead of the main programme, the sessions are presented in two categories: full-length masterclasses held across two days and mini masterclasses that run consecutively.
“As the pace of change accelerates and the challenges humanity faces rise, life-saving programmes are being stripped of funding and hard-won gains in diversity, equity, inclusion, and access are under attack,” said Ruby Chadwick, Director of Programmes at the Resource Alliance. “In this environment, fundraising cannot afford to stand still. At the International Fundraising Congress, we’re bringing together the brightest minds, the boldest ideas, and the most innovative new strategies to reshape and secure the future of social impact.”
“The world is at a pivotal juncture. The USAID crisis and increasing restrictions on fundraising globally have exposed the risks we face when we depend on singular funding streams. Income diversification is critical, and masterclasses at IFC 2025 this October will cover topics selected to support delegates to navigate these waters, to do their best work, and to grow in their careers and as people,” Chadwick continued. “They are intensive sessions where participants will be exposed to deep knowledge, insights, and experiences, learning through interactive discussions, real-world case studies, and hands-on activities.”
Masterclasses at IFC offer a unique opportunity to connect with industry thought leaders and develop the critical skills they need to thrive and meet the evolving needs of our sector. Across the first two days of the event programme, participants will explore innovative concepts for nonprofit problem-solving, go on a journey to digital fundraising growth, transform their supporter experience, master strategic impact, decode decision science, and much more.
The International Fundraising Congress returns to Noordwijkerhout in the Netherlands this 14-17 October and will once more be presented in a hybrid format. Delegates registering before the end of March can get 50% off a second ticket or 25% off two individual tickets bought together. Find out more about IFC 2025 here.
