Removing Our Blinders: How to Avoid White Savior Fundraising
Join Lizzie Bebber, executive director of United Ministries, and Mark Steenback, the chief resource officer at Habitat for Humanity of Greenville County, as they share how their organizations are transitioning from event-driven fundraising to a relationship-focused model. Focusing on clients as people of strength and offering donors the opportunity to be part of long-term solutions is key to this transition. Learn how their organizations have elevated the voices of their clients, how they tell their stories, and how they approach discussions of race when fundraising.
