In 2025, can you dare to wonder? 

To kick off the new year, I’m sharing my word of the year, and what’s to come on the Missions to Movements podcast in 2025. The four core themes we’ll be diving into? Revolutionizing fundraising, monthly giving programs, personal branding and thought leadership, and creating unique partnerships.

In this episode, I also take a moment to reflect on my favorite moments from 2024, from writing a book to launching a successful virtual Monthly Giving Summit, and how these experiences taught me the power of collaboration and innovation. 

Guided by the theme of wonder, I encourage you to ask yourself "what if?" as we step into 2025, and challenge conventional practices.

Where can you let go of control, bring on supportive team members, or invest in tools that foster productivity and creativity?

What word is going to guide your nonprofit journey this year?

Plus, a very exciting new partnership with LinkedIn!
