the numbers tell us the return makes it
worth coming back.Roughly half of the people who come to
IFC each year aren’t here for the first
time. There’s a reason for that...
88% increased their income
92% experienced new content
73% expanded their donor base
72% diversified their resource
mobilisation
78% made new connections

Our free monthly keynotes invite speakers on the leading edge of fundraising, campaigning, & activism to bring the latest social impact innovations directly to you.

This session is for fundraisers, leaders, changemakers, and anyone who is ready to question inherited models, learn from grassroots wisdom, and help shape a new era of philanthropy that is rooted in collective wellbeing.

Join us to explore what has - and hasn’t - shifted in recent years, how moments of crisis can either reinforce old patterns or open space for transformation, and what it takes to translate big ideas about dignity, equity, and agency into real action.
