The Beaumont Foundation of America (BFA) is a charity committed to improving

| About
the Conference |
|
This conference is designed for intermediate to
highly advanced in-the-trenches nonprofit-sector
professionals. Beginners are welcome to attend, but had better
be prepared to stretch as we
tackle capital campaigns, major gifts, planned giving, grant
seeking, annual fund, and other aspects of fund raising; leadership;
technology; the law of tax-exempt organizations; human resources;
and much more.
This is a 21st Century conference --
your learning will only begin in Palm Springs as your sessions will continue for at least six weeks via private
email lists with the experts. Remember, CharityChannel is
known as The Conference That Never Sleeps (tm) -- and
this is one reason why. Find out more about the conference sessions and speakers at: http://charitychannel.com/summit2003

| Sponsors
and Exhibitors |
|
Unlike any
other conference, we combine conference sponsorship
opportunities with on-line sponsorship to keep your name in front of
your target audience year-round. This
is another reason why CharityChannel is
known as The Conference That Never Sleeps (tm).
Exhibitor booths
are available with discounts for early
reservation and for thousands of current CharityChannel advertisers. There will
be eight dedicated Exhibit Hall hours during the conference that will
not interfere with breakout sessions. Exhibitors are not only
permitted, but are encouraged, to take part in conference sessions.
