Curriculum Overview

NACG's Technology Fair & Reception will kick off the national workplace giving conference on Thursday evening, June 16, 2005, with a look into the future of philanthropy and workplace giving technology. Leading technology experts will present and demonstrate their take on how technology will influence the future of philanthropy and workplace giving.

Glen Hiemstra, one of the leading futurists in the country, will deliver the conference keynote address on Friday morning. Glen, who has consulted for organizations including Microsoft, Adobe Systems, Boeing, and the Council on Foundations, will set the stage for a panel of leading workplace giving experts who will examine future trends and their implications for federations and funds in the coming years.

Ensuing workshops will guide participants in constructing a vision of a future for their organization that builds on the following assumptions of life in the Year 2020:

• Workplace giving organizations will be vibrant, viable organizations
• Workplace giving organizations will, in one form or another, be a conduit for people to give their time, talent, and/or resources to causes they believe in
• Workplace giving organizations will be educating the public about philanthropy and the nonprofit sector, connecting people with their communities and making the world a better place

Participants will be challenged to develop specific ideas about how their organizations will find future success given the driving forces of change identified early in the program and to then set their sights on specific strategies and tactics to immediately move their organization toward these outcomes. The goal is to have every participant take home both concrete action steps and a roadmap for their organization's long-term strategic planning. Additional sessions will be offered to further support organizations in achieving tangible "first wins."
