Resilience is very different from endurance: holding on; pushing through; grinding. Endurance may get you through the week, but it doesn’t teach you how to recover, adapt, or evolve. This webinar will address how we actually build resilience in ourselves, in our teams, and in our organizations.

Between major shifts in institutional giving and newer technologies like AI, fund development staff are balancing a lot. Join Rochelle Jerry, certified fundraising manager from The Fund Raising School and adjunct faculty member of Indiana University, Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, to understand key fundraising trends and emerging best practices.
