Wisdom from the Well: Navigating the Hard Choices in Faith-Led Fundraising

Audience:

Wednesday, July 29, 2026
11:00 AM - 11:50 AM EDT
Location: Maryland C
Success in faith-led fundraising isn't just defined by the years when goals are met; it's defined by the wisdom gained during the seasons when they aren't. In this Wisdom Panel, seasoned leaders step away from the highlight reel to offer a candid, behind-the-scenes look at the toughest decisions they've navigated. From the gift that had to be declined to the beloved program that had to be cut, our panelists will discuss the visionary leadership required to work across silos, the discipline to say "no" to the next "shiny thing," and the delicate balance of cause and devotion. Join us for an honest conversation on how to rebound from setbacks and take the calculated risks necessary to move your mission forward.
