Rocky Mountain Philanthropy Institute
Rocky Mountain Philanthropy Institute (RMPI) is AFP Colorado Chapter’s annual fall conference dedicated to bringing Colorado Fundraising Professionals and nonprofit leaders and learners together to grow, network, and rejuvenate.
RMPI 2025 will be an action-packed conference filled with professional development and networking. The event will take place on October 3, 2025, at UCAR in Boulder The program will include a keynote speaker and breakfast, multiple education sessions, a networking lunch, and happy hour.
This year’s conference will provide both veteran and new nonprofit professionals with the opportunity to hone their fundraising skills, network, and set intentions for a postpandemic era in which a world of possibility lies ahead. We believe our industry has the opportunity to lead the charge in embracing change and setting a purposeful and inclusive path forward.
As a sponsor, you can support the professional development of front-line fundraisers – the people who make our region’s nonprofits tick. We will promote your brand presence to nonprofit decision-makers from Colorado and the Rocky Mountain Region. You will also have the opportunity to build new relationships with fundraisers through small-group interactions.
In our chapter efforts to improve equity and access, we now recognize the importance of paying our speakers. Your sponsorship directly supports honorariums for top-notch workshop session speakers at the conference. We are committed to assembling an inclusive line-up of speakers representing various perspectives and insights. Selected speakers will receive an honorarium, free conference registration, and the opportunity to engage directly with AFP members, thanks to your support.
