The Art of Hosting Fundraising Events That Matter
with Robin Boudreau, Stacey Regennitter, and Melissa Fontanini from No Foot Too Small
Session Description:
Nonprofit events shouldn’t just fill a room, they should move hearts, build relationships, and fuel your mission. In this dynamic presentation, the team from No Foot Too Small will share the keys to designing and executing meaningful events that resonate with donors and deliver results. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to level up, you’ll walk away with actionable ideas, creative insights, and the confidence to think bigger.
No Foot Too Small (NFTS), founded by Robin and Ryan Boudreau, was inspired by the loss of their son Beau in 2013. NFTS was born out of a desire to draw awareness to pregnancy loss + infant mortality while encouraging the celebration of angels. In just ten years, thousands have gathered for the annual events to honor babies who’ve lost their lives too soon. Initially serving families across Iowa, NFTS is expanding nationwide. With a mission to serve families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss, NFTS has donated more than $1,000,000 to critical initiatives and celebrated countless angels since its inception.
