“I appreciated Laura sharing her experience with us as a parent and a donor through the process of her son’s illness and the outpouring of generosity he inspired through his life and music. I especially appreciated the way Laura customized her remarks to our audience, talking about the donor cultivation and stewardship steps and what worked well for her family as the donor in that dynamic. Her gratitude for the staff of the nonprofit she worked with really came through. Thank you to Laura for her willingness to be open and vulnerable about her experiences in order to cultivate generosity in our community.”
