I work with a skilled team to engage and cultivate relationships with individuals and entities who are passionate about the work of the Franciscan Renewal Center. We consistently interact with our supporters to strengthen their relationships with our mission and to educate them regarding the impact of their gifts. All of this is done to complete our $20.1M Capital Campaign and to fulfill our goals of Sustainable Funding for our daily operations as well as to secure Legacy Gifts for the extended long-term growth and continued work of the Franciscan Renewal Center. With my team, we have put in place cultivation processes, donor engagement activities and series of events to deepen our relationships with current donors as well as to introduce new interested parties to the inspiring work of the Casa.
