2013 Fundraising Stars

Regina Denu
Executive Director
Ozanam Family Shelter Corp.

Everyone knows it’s not easy to get donors to agree to give unrestricted funds to keep the lights on and bulk up endowments to keep organizations afloat during tough times or in case of emergency. So one of the first things we liked about Regina Denu’s nomination was that in her 11-plus years at Ozanam Family Shelter Corp., she has brought the organization “from being in the ‘red’ to having a five-month operating reserve,” writes Kim Hale, case manager at Ozanam.
