The official app for the International Fundraising Congress 2026, the world's longest-running social impact event for fundraisers, campaigners, activists, and changemakers. 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 2026, 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. The International Fundraising Congress comprises four days of rich and innovation-led learning and sharing, brilliantly curated by the independent IFC Advisory Panel, a group of leading fundraisers from across the globe. Held annually in Noordwijk in the Netherlands, IFC 2026 will give you the opportunity to connect with fundraisers and social impact leaders all over the world, both in person and online. Will you be part of it?
