April Crafted Conversations
2026-04-16 16:00 - 17:30 (America/New_York) | River Arts District Brewing Co., 13 Mystery St., Asheville, NC, 28801, United States
From Transaction to Trust: Community-Centered Donor Stewardship in a Changing Landscape

Join AFP WNC for our April Crafted Conversations as we explore how donor expectations are changing and what that means for stewardship, communication, and retention.
This month’s conversation is designed for fundraisers across experience levels and organizational contexts, with three guided discussion tracks:

Starting Strong (0 – 3 years experience)
Strengthening Systems (4 – 10 years experience)
Leading for Long-Term Trust (10+ years experience)

Each track will be facilitated by an AFP WNC board member with relevant experience and designed to foster practical conversation, shared learning, and meaningful connection.
Come connect with fellow fundraising professionals and leave with fresh ideas you can bring back to your work.

Registration includes a drink ticket. NA options will be available.

The event will be held at River Arts District Brewing (13 Mystery St. Asheville, NC 28801)
