Interview With Kenneth Grunke, Director of Individual and Major Giving, Pillars

FS: Do you foresee any big changes in the way you reach potential donors and other supporters in the near future?
KG: “Definitely! Aside from what I mentioned in the previous question, the other part of this is that I am seeing many grade- and middle-school students who are becoming more active, in fundraising as well as being asked to address societal social issues in the classroom. We’ve already seen younger students approaching us and asking to fundraise on our behalf or ask to donate a portion of their proceeds to our organization. They’re getting involved at such an early age, and we need to start recognizing that more and how to connect with them.
