MEET YOUR NONPROFIT GOALS EVEN FASTER WHEN YOU UPGRADE YOUR TICKET

Build a stronger nonprofit and a healthier way to lead it. Plus: more time to learn and more people to learn with. Resources you can come back to long after the summit ends.

October 20 to 23 is packed with practical, actionable trainings to help you fund your work, build real connections, protect yourself and your team from burnout, and lead in a way you can sustain.

With the Rural Roots Toolkit,

it gets even better

Your upgraded ticket unlocks interactive sessions during summit week, plus over $1,000 worth of resources to help you trade constant firefighting for intentional funding, stronger relationships, and leadership that runs on excitement instead of fumes.

And yes, ongoing access to the summit presentations.

Revisit them whenever you want and implement on your schedule, not the calendar's.

HERE’S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU UPGRADE YOUR TICKET:

A month free in the Rural Roots Roundtable membership
(the only membership built just for rural nonprofit leaders) - that you can start today!  


Ongoing Presentation Access

Your free ticket gives you 48 hours to watch each day's presentations. The Rural Roots Toolkit gives you ongoing access. Your replays land within 24 hours and stay put, so you can watch at your own pace, rewatch the good parts, and revisit them whenever you want. 


Private Podcast Feed of all Presentations 

Prefer listening to watching? When you upgrade your ticket, you'll get a private Hello Audio podcast feed you can add to your favorite podcast player and use to listen to audio versions of the presentations on the go.

Take them on the walk between meetings, on a meandering drive (rural scenery for the win!),  or whenever you can discreetly don an ear bud.


Speed Networking (But make it fun!) on Day 1

Rural leadership can feel lonely, especially when you can count the people nearby who truly get it on one hand. Day 1's Speed Networking session helps fix that.

No awkward mingling, no small talk about the weather, just a fast track to people who get it. You’ll walk away basking in the glow of real peer relationships.


Small-Group Facilitated Conversations on Day 3

Figuring things out with new pals is so much fun. On Day 3, you’ll have access to facilitated small-group conversations where you can connect more deeply with other rural nonprofit leaders, and learn from people who understand your reality.

This is where you stop consuming information and start having the kinds of conversations that remind you there are people in your corner.


Co-Working Session on Day 2

Learning new strategies is one thing, but finding the time to use them can be another bucket of worms entirely. On Day 2, Rural Roots Toolkit holders will have access to a dedicated co-working session designed to help you make space for the work that usually gets pushed aside by whatever is currently on fire.

Bring something you’ve been meaning to tackle, use the time to put what you’re learning at the summit into action, and work alongside other leaders who are doing the same (the true magic!).

Plus Over $700 Worth of Top-Notch Resources and Bonuses.


From our speakers and partners. Only available in the Rural Roots Toolkit. Details below.
