Beyond the Gift: Harnessing Advocacy for Lasting Impact
Join us for a conversation with Danielle Ayers (me too. Movement), Laura Bracci (American Heart Association), Ariel Fristoe (Out of Hand Theatre), and David Schaefer (Georgia Budget and Policy Institute) on the intersection of fundraising and advocacy.
