Non-Profit Growth Masterclass & Labs
Toronto 2026
The Non-Profit Growth Masterclass & Labs is an immersive three-day programme designed specifically for CEOs, C-suite executives, senior fundraising leaders and board members who want to unlock sustained financial growth for their organisations.
Why focus on leadership?
Because the research is clear. Academic studies, action research and real-world case studies all point to the same conclusion: the behaviour of the entire organisation drives financial growth. And it is senior leadership that sets the tone, the culture and the priorities that enable fundraising success.
This Masterclass has been created to answer one critical question facing nonprofit leaders today:
What can leadership do to create financial security and long-term growth?
Over three intensive days, participants will explore the principles behind Great Fundraising Organizations and examine the leadership decisions, organisational behaviours and strategic alignment that drive exceptional fundraising performance.
Through a combination of masterclass sessions and practical labs, leaders will gain clear and actionable answers to the growth challenge and begin developing a plan they can take back to their own organisation.
You will see how some nonprofits have achieved cumulative revenue increases of billions of dollars in recent years by transforming how their organisations think about and approach fundraising.
Most importantly, you will leave with the insight, confidence and practical tools to begin driving similar growth in your own organisation.
If your goal is to strengthen financial security, build a high-performing fundraising culture and unlock greater impact for the causes you serve, we invite you to join us in Toronto.

What Makes This Programme Different
Most fundraising conferences focus on tactics — campaigns, channels, and techniques. While useful, these rarely address the deeper question of why some organisations consistently outperform others.
The Non-Profit Growth Masterclass & Labs focuses instead on the leadership behaviours, organisational culture, and strategic alignment that enable sustained financial growth.
The programme is built on more than two decades of research into high-performing fundraising organisations and the insights behind Great Fundraising Organizations. These principles have been tested with leading global nonprofits, including organisations such as UNICEF, WWF and many others, helping them unlock significant growth in fundraising revenue.
Rather than presenting isolated ideas, the Masterclass explores how leadership decisions shape the environment in which fundraising succeeds or fails. Participants will examine real-world examples of organisations that have transformed their fundraising results by aligning leadership, strategy and organisational behaviour.
The result is a programme that goes beyond theory, helping leaders understand how growth actually happens inside organisations.
What Happens During the Labs
Alongside the Masterclass sessions, participants will take part in a series of interactive Growth Labs designed to translate ideas into practical action.
These labs give leaders the opportunity to reflect on their own organisation’s current approach to fundraising and identify the leadership shifts needed to unlock greater growth.
During the labs you will:
Examine the behaviours and decisions that influence fundraising performance across your organisation
Identify barriers that may be limiting growth
Work through practical frameworks for aligning leadership, strategy and culture
Begin developing a clear plan for strengthening fundraising within your organisation
The labs are designed to be highly interactive, allowing participants to engage with peers, challenge assumptions and learn from the experience of other nonprofit leaders facing similar challenges.
By the end of the programme, you will leave not only with new insight, but with a practical roadmap for driving financial growth and long-term sustainability in your organisation.
