¡Día De Poder!

National Virtual Fundraising Training & Conference

December 11th, 2025
8:30am -3:00pm PST
11:30am-6:00pm EST
ABOUT THE EVENT
Somos El Poder is proud to present our first virtual training event and conference. We do this right now with a sense of urgency to answer the needs of Latino focused nonprofits nationwide. The Latino community is facing unprecedented persecution and discrimination. There has never been a more important time for the Latino focused nonprofit sector to answer the call of our communities. We need to raise new money, diversify and grow our fundraising. We need to especially learn how to raise much more from our own communities. We offer this training at intentionally low costs to help you advance your fundraising right now.
This is the "Dia De Poder" because fundraising is power. Its the power to help our communities direct their financial resources to answer the needs, challenges and emergencies of our times. 

​Somos El Poder se enorgullece de presentar nuestro primer evento y conferencia virtual de capacitación. Lo hacemos ahora mismo con un sentido de urgencia para responder a las necesidades de las organizaciones sin fines de lucro enfocadas en la comunidad latina en todo el país. La comunidad latina enfrenta una persecución y discriminación sin precedentes. Nunca ha habido un momento más importante para que el sector sin fines de lucro enfocado en la comunidad latina responda al llamado de nuestras comunidades. Necesitamos recaudar nuevos fondos, diversificar y aumentar nuestra recaudación de fondos. Necesitamos aprender, especialmente, cómo recaudar mucho más de nuestras propias comunidades. Ofrecemos esta capacitación a un costo intencionalmente bajo para ayudarle a impulsar su recaudación de fondos ahora mismo.
Este es el "Día del Poder" porque la recaudación de fondos es poder. Es el poder de ayudar a nuestras comunidades a dirigir sus recursos financieros para responder a las necesidades, desafíos y emergencias de nuestro tiempo.
