BREAK THROUGH: OUR THEME FOR IFC 2025

You’re here because you believe in equity, in human rights, in protecting our planet, and in caring for all of its people. So are we.

As the pace of change accelerates and the challenges humanity faces rise, life-saving programmes are being stripped of funding and hard-won gains in diversity, equity, inclusion, and access are under attack. Fundraising cannot afford to stand still. At IFC 2025, we’re bringing together the brightest minds, the boldest ideas, and the most innovative new strategies to reshape and secure the future of social impact.

Together with a global network of changemakers, we will explore fresh approaches, challenge conventional narratives, and redefine what’s possible. You will discover new tools and resources, initiate radical collaborations, and learn from the trailblazers driving real-world solutions with agility, purpose, and equity.

To create impact, we must dare to do things differently. Join us at IFC 2025 and be inspired to reimagine your fundraising potential, be supported to thrive in your career, and be empowered to make a real difference in the face of what is to come.

The International Fundraising Congress is more than just a conference. Last year, we made a pledge to rise and defy the waves of oppression, war, and inequality that threaten us all. Join us in October 2025, in person or online, and reaffirm your commitment to change for the better.

And just as IFC 2025 is more than just a conference, the Resource Alliance is so much more than this one event. Our 2025 programme of content and events has been shaped by people like you, the fundraisers, campaigners, activists, and changemakers who dedicate their lives to protecting us all. The change we hope for is only possible if we work together, so, please, come to our monthly online sessions; join our themed working groups; and share your honest, open feedback and ideas. This is your community and every voice matters.

Together, we will break through.
