In this episode, I interview Hillary Woken, the individual giving manager for the Institute for Sustainable Communities. We dive into the transformative effect the Power Partners program has had on her approach to fundraising and mental health. Hillary underscores the shift from a scarcity mindset to genuine connections with donors and shared values, impacting her fundraising outcomes. She discusses the challenges fundraisers often face, including pressures tied to fundraising targets, and personal struggles with anxiety.
