Description

Right now, many Miami nonprofits are navigating uncertainty—shrinking public funding, growing community needs, and the pressure to raise more with less. In this landscape, a clear, shared vision isn’t a luxury—it’s a must.

Whether you’re planning your next big campaign or just trying to keep your team aligned, your strategic plan can do more than guide your work. It can unlock major gifts.

Join Sophia Shaw and Adam Wolford, co-founders of PlanPerfect, for a grounded conversation on how intentional planning fuels stronger fundraising. Sophia brings her experience as former CEO of the Chicago Botanic Garden, where she led a bold strategic plan, raising $240 million and launching nationally recognized programs in conservation, education, and urban agriculture. Adam adds insight from decades in tech and nonprofit strategy. Whether your organization has a current plan or has never created one, this session will offer practical ways to:

• Revisit and refine your strategic plan—without starting from scratch
• Gain input from those you serve
• Create shared understanding among board, staff, and funders
• Bring your plan into donor conversations with confidence
• Use accessible tools to begin or renew your planning process
• Incorporate dashboards and metrics into a compelling, impact-centered, future-focused fundraising story

This session is built for leaders, fundraisers, and anyone ready to align mission with momentum. You’ll walk away with tools, examples, and a fresh take on how strategy can power generosity.

Bonus: All attendees get access to PlanPerfect’s Planning to Plan video series + the Organize tool to help you put ideas into action.

Stronger nonprofits. Stronger Miami.
This is where bold ideas take root.
