Most people who are fundraisers did not start out as fundraisers. I plan to visit with individuals across the US and find out more about their stories. What did they plan to do after college? What was their first experience as a fundraiser – was it as a volunteer or paid staff? What issues did they face in their first role? What advice would they give their past selves? We will visit with nonprofit development pros from a variety of sectors. Whether you are just entering the field, in mid-career, or are a seasoned veteran, this is for you.

    Journeys in Fundraising with Chris Evans, CFRE

    Chris Evans, CFRE, is the Senior Director of Development at Educational First Steps in Fort Worth. I had the pleasure of working with her on the 2022 DFW Association of Fundraising Professionals Philanthropy in Action Conference as my co-chair. She then chaired the 2023 Conference - and did an outstanding job! Chris shares her experiences as chair and offers insights for anyone who is considering leading this conference - which is one of the largest regional fundraising conferences in the United States. A skilled and empathetic fundraising professional, Chris also shares how Educational First Steps effectively provides quality pre-K education to disaffected communities - giving those children a genuine opportunity to succeed! As always, your feedback is welcomed. Enjoy this Journey in Fundraising!
