2024 OMAHA DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE
DATES PENDING 

OMAHA DEVELOPMENT VIDEO CONFERENCING AVAILABLE AT:  https://codesweb.com/schedule-video-conference

Over 1,300 people from all over the world have attended the Omaha Development Institute to learn the development techniques of the Late Father John A. Flynn (1926-1997).  Alumni of the Omaha Development Institute report raising over $300 million using techniques taught in this four-day workshop.

Since 1976, the Omaha Development Institute has been recognized as the most comprehensive learning experience for the development of Catholic organizations. The seminar focuses on the spiritual and professional aspects of development from the foremost experts in Catholic organizational development. These leaders will share tips and techniques to help your development program reach its potential.

The Omaha Development Institute highlights today's development issues with sessions on development plans, annual fund, development as ministry, grant writing, direct mail, major gifts and much more.

Development for Catholic organizations has never been more important. The intergenerational transfer of wealth in the next few years will be the largest in U.S. history, estimated at more than $11 trillion. At the same time, enrollment in Catholic schools is burgeoning all over the country. The Omaha Development Institute will prepare your organization to capitalize on today's opportunities to ensure a bright, stable future.
