Duke Haddad
Senior Director of Philanthropy, Make-A-Wish Foundation

Jeff Jowdy

"Effective fundraising drives relationship building — between a nonprofit and those who are passionate enough about its mission to make a gift. Fostering these relationships comes with a great responsibility, as well as great joy and opportunity for the donor as well as the organization and those it serves."
