The book Collecting Courage: Joy, Pain, Freedom, Love is a powerful and moving collection of personal experiences written by 15 Black fundraisers that chips away at the idea of an inherent goodness of the charitable sector. It is edited by sector experts Nneka Allen, Camila Vital Nunes Pereira and Nicole Salmon. āThe time for Collecting Courage is now,ā says Salmon. āItās undeniably our stories, told by us and for us, publicly sharing and claiming our lived experiences as Black women and men working in the nonprofit and charitable space. Many of the stories are unbridled, disconcerting, pain-filled and uncomfortable and yet, they also reveal and celebrate the diversity and fullness of our lives."

REBROADCAST with LIVE Q&A
Arts and Healthcare Fundraising:
from Grateful Patients to Patrons,
What Makes this Fundraising So Unique?
Program Description
For many years, we have heard the adage "the art and science of fundraising" and learned how to apply it to the field. But when it comes to fundraising for the arts and sciences (including healthcare), how does it differ from other sectors?
The panel of leaders will explain what makes fundraising for arts and healthcare organizations so unique, and why more professionals should consider these professional niches. They will share their professional journeys, and what soft, technical, and transferable skills are needed to successfully thrive in arts and healthcare fundraising. From grateful patients to patrons, this workshop is designed to explore the various specialty areas that professionals can consider as they navigate their careers. Whether you are just starting out your career or thinking about transitioning into a new sector, this conversation is designed for you.
Featured Panelists:
Tuesday, September 22, 2020
