Money, money, money. Donors are faced with a never-ending parade of worthy causes. We want to provide clean water! We are training leaders! On and on. While working to fight poverty, modern charities must also navigate the game-changing social and technological innovations affecting (and sometimes overwhelming) their donors. How can we remain mission-focused while re-imagining those relationships? Learn how Bart Skorupa is disrupting the traditional giving model, by inspiring donors to become activists, advocates, and storytellers for a number of causes, in unique and unprecedented ways.
