February Webinar Fundraising for Us, Not Them - Michelle T. Edgerton, MADate: February 16, 2022 Time: 12:00 - 1:00 pm Register here.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. After more than 15 years of working in various organizations as a professional fundraising, marketing and communications senior executive, Michelle Edgerton founded The Edgerton Group an innovative, strategic fundraising and organizational development consulting firm. Michelle's strength is building strong, successful fundraising programs and helping organizations obtain greater clarity and mission alignment through strategic investments. Michelle is also a sought-after speaker and presenter.
