These sessions will be offered on the third Wednesday of each month.

Volunteer Resources
What *is* donor organizing?
Drawing from Marshall Ganz’s organizing framework, we view it as identifying, recruiting, and developing the leadership of donors; building community around those donors; and building power out of that community to fund our work.
