What does your organization do better than anyone else? This 90-minute session will focus on tips and tricks to help nonprofits cut through the jargon and articulate what sets their organization apart.
With more than 1.8 million nonprofits in the U.S., and billions in discretionary assets available from the local philanthropic community, we need to be clear with our constituents and future funders to do our best work. This session will provide the tools needed to describe what sets your organization apart from your partners and competition, ensuring more relevant and compelling connections with the communities you serve.
Together, we will explore how you can articulate:
- the problem(s) your nonprofit aims to solve,
- values that shape your organization’s point of view and approach,
- your compelling value proposition, and
- a simple call to action.

Lee and Toni Leichtag established the Leichtag Foundation in 1991 following the sale of their business. Lee and Toni were lifelong entrepreneurs with a passion for innovation and for supporting talent. They believed that only with big risk comes big reward. Both born to families in poverty, Toni to a single mother, they strongly believed in helping those most in need and most vulnerable in our community. While they supported many causes, their strongest support was for young children and the elderly, two demographics who particularly lack voice in our society.

You would think that as the executive director of San Diego LGBT Pride, Fernando Zweifach López Jr., who uses the pronoun they, has done all the coming out they possibly can. A queer, non-binary individual who has worked for many years on civil rights issues, López also speaks openly and often about their father’s family, Mexican-American migrant workers who tilled the fields of rural California.
