UPCOMING WEBINAR

Beyond Dollars: How Belonging Fuels Better Fundraising

Join us for Beyond Dollars: How Belonging Fuels Better Fundraising, featuring Ryan Hammond, Executive Director of the Eagles Autism Foundation, and haku’s Jackie Levi, as they pull back the curtain on how embedding community, identity, and emotional connection into peer-to-peer campaigns can escalate both impact and loyalty. Under Ryan’s leadership, the Eagles Autism Challenge has raised over $40 million since 2018, and in 2025 has already surpassed $10 million in participant-driven giving. Through signature events like the Eagles Autism Challenge and community activation events like Huddle Up for Autism, EAF turns large-scale fundraising into a year-round belonging movement

In this webinar, Ryan will share how Eagles Autism Foundation’s success is powered by belonging — not just dollars — and how nonprofits can adapt those approaches to elevate their own fundraising.

This live session will also cover:

How to embed belonging into peer-to-peer campaigns, turning donors into advocates
Examples from the Eagles Autism Foundation’s fundraising approach, including both its signature events and year-round engagement efforts
Storytelling, identity-driven incentives, and community rituals that deepen commitment
How adopting a “100% participant-raised funds” model helps strengthen trust
Best practices for linking fundraising transparently to measurable impact
How to adapt these strategies to your nonprofit’s scale or mission

This webinar is FREE to all attendees thanks to sponsorship by
