Wes Powell leads the Planned Giving team at Star of Hope Mission, Houston's primary Homeless Shelter. Wes has 40 years+ experience in fundraising for non-profits and faith-based organizations like World Vision.

Ever wonder how other organizations do their fundraising? Curious about how to start a donor conversation that could lead to a $1M+ gift? Beyond The Ask is a show about the in's and out's of professional Fundraising. We ask fundraising professionals from all types of non-profits to get radically transparent about how they do it and why they do it in order to learn to do it better.
