Community of Practice | Fund Development

January 30, 2026 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM (EST)

Description

Navigating Awkward Conversations with Donors, Volunteers, and Board Members | Awkward or sensitive conversations with donors, volunteers, and board members are part of life for those of us with nonprofit fundraising responsibilities. What behaviors, actions, and words should be addressed, and what should we just ignore? This Community of Practice discussion will provide a space to examine real situations, share approaches, and explore practical strategies to communicate clearly and maintain positive working relationships. Leave with peer-informed insights you can apply immediately in your role as paid or unpaid nonprofit leader.


Presented by Stephanie Cory, Principal, Stephanie Cory Consulting | Stephanie Cory is a nonprofit consultant and trainer with more than two decades of experience helping organizations strengthen governance and sustainability. She is a certified governance consultant through BoardSource and a licensed consultant with the Standards for Excellence Institute. Stephanie brings insight from staff roles including executive director and development director as well as more than 30 cumulative years of board service herself. She works with nonprofits of all sizes to build capacity, clarify roles, and create sustainable systems.
