Fort Worth Chamber members attend as our guests.
The Major Gifts Ramp-Up (MGRU) model, a proven 13-step system that enables nonprofits to significantly increase philanthropic revenue in a short period of time. MGRU shifts fundraising from traditional board-driven expectations to a CEO-led strategy supported by a campaign cabinet of community influencers and philanthropic leaders. By focusing on relationship-building, strategic engagement, and transformational gifts, the model helps organizations secure sustainable funding while strengthening donor partnerships and long-term mission impact.
Led by fundraising veterans who’ve raised over $1 billion, this high-impact, two-day experience gives you a clear, step-by-step system to strengthen your case for support, engage major donors, activate your board, and close transformational gifts with confidence.
