Description
One of the primary roles of a fundraiser is to connect community resources to community need. Although we’ve connected the two in some ways, a schism persists when we “other” those in need and glorify the ones who have the resources. The objective of this webinar is to focus on fundraising for the collective community allowing a respectful unification and recognition that we fundraise for us, not them.
