"…People have such a need for friendship and for community that fund-raising has to be community-building…."
This week, I’m reading a quote from The Spirituality of Fundraising by Henri Nouwen, originally presented in 1992.
Reflection Questions:
- How does this perspective of communion, belonging, and friendship affect you in your work?
- Thinking back to your last fundraising appeal, was it just an ask for a donation or was it also an offer for belonging?
