A Minute With Jose Lugaro, Development Director, The LGBT Community Center

FS: What are the center's fundraising strengths/weaknesses?

JL: The center has a very engaged board of directors that works in partnership with the staff to create, implement and achieve our annual fundraising goals. Like many organizations, we are facing challenges from cutbacks in government funding and increasingly rely on individual donors to fund the programs and services that meet the needs of New York's LGBT community.
