The Fundraising World Wants to hear From You!
NIO Summit isn’t just an event—it’s where the people, organizations, and causes shaping the future of generosity take the stage.
These videos are meant to showcase the vibrant community coming together at the River Ranch Stockyards in Fort Worth. Through short video introductions, attendees can meet the cast before showtime, hear the missions behind the badges, and see what everyone is most excited to experience at this year’s Summit.
Whether you’re a first-time attendee, a returning sponsor, a featured speaker, or part of the NIO crew, these stories help create meaningful connections before anyone steps into the room. Consider this your cold open: a chance to get to know the voices, personalities, and purpose-driven leaders who will make NIO Summit unforgettable.
Submit your video and we’ll make a $100 donation to a nonprofit of your choice. Once your video is posted, we’ll notify you so you can share it with your network. After you share it, you’ll receive a $100 gift card for yourself. We will also do a random drawing for three more grand prize donations so don’t miss out and submit your video today!
