My mom was a fundraiser - it’s how I knew the field even existed.  For years it was novel for me to say that I was a second generation fundraiser, because there just weren’t that many of us.

Well, that has changed. Significantly!  And for the better. 

Fundraising as a profession has come a long way since our parents started their careers, but what they did strongly influenced who we are and how we’ve approached philanthropy.
