"...People have such a need for friendship and for community that fund-raising has to be community-building...."

This week, I’m reading a quote from The Spirituality of Fundraising by Henri Nouwen, originally presented in 1992.

Reflection Questions:

• How does this perspective of communion, belonging, and friendship affect you in your work?

• Thinking back to your last fundraising appeal, was it just an ask for a donation or was it also an offer for belonging?
