NJAIS & CCS Fundraising Webinar

From Cultivation to Community: Strengthening Donor Relationships Through Systematic Stewardship 

Effective stewardship begins long before a gift is made — it's the result of intentional, year-round engagement that makes supporters feel genuinely connected to your school's mission. This session reframes stewardship as ongoing engagement and cultivation rather than a post-gift formality, and shares how Saint Peter's Prep built a year-round program that honors donors at every level, strengthens major-gift pipelines, and increases donor satisfaction.

Date: August 10-11, 2026

Innovation & Collaboration Conference

For teachers, librarians, technology leaders, and everyone in independent schools rethinking what good tech use looks like now. Two days on the questions schools are actually wrestling with — AI in the classroom, new media literacy, how to use tech intentionally, how to raise responsible digital citizens when the rules keep changing. Expect breakout sessions, hands-on workshops, the beloved What the Tech? lightning presentations, and a community that's been gathering for years to figure this out together. Come for the sessions. Stay for the network.

The Forum

The Forum is a one-day, high-intensity convening designed to bring together leaders from  member schools and institutions of higher education. At a time when both sectors face mounting pressure around access, affordability, enrollment, student support, institutional sustainability, and the changing expectations of learners and families, The Forum creates space for meaningful cross-sector dialogue and collaborative problem-solving around an aligned, coherent educational pathway.
