The DMFA accepts proposals for webinars, workshops, interactive events and more. Our mission is to develop high-quality programming for professional fundraisers engaged in direct mail, digital, multi-channel, and other channels of fundraising while actively pursuing DMFA’s commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion. If you have expertise in professional fundraising and have a topic that you would like to present, we invite you to submit a proposal. 

For a list of recent session topics,  check out our past events page at: https://dmfa.org/events/past-events/. 

Session Guidelines

• Sessions should be interactive, educational, and informative; they may include case studies, examples, results, and other specific details. Attendees want "takeaways" they can apply to their own programs.
• There MUST be at least one nonprofit speaker on each session.
• Speakers must present in an educational, non-commercial, non-self-promotional manner. NO sales pitches are allowed during presentations or sessions. 
• Sessions are meant to cover 50 minutes of content, including Q&A. We are happy to have multiple sessions but each session should be no more than 50 minutes.

The DMFA is open to sessions that have run at other conferences so if you already have a presentation, feel free to submit the proposal to present it with us. Submission of a program DOES NOT guarantee acceptance. Sessions will be evaluated by the DMFA within three weeks and you will receive a response either way.
