LHAT was honored to partner with The Compass Group to host a one-day regional conference in Baltimore focused entirely on the keys to effective fundraising. More than 80 attendees from theatres all across the United States learned from the fundraising experts at Compass about “engineering philanthropy”— putting foundational elements into place to support their organizations' success. They also participated in topic-drive lunch discussions and two sponsored networking receptions to share advice and experiences with their historic theatre peers.

Thank you to everyone who presented and attended!
