Facil­i­ta­tor: Ker­ry Sud­des of Sud­des Solutions

Ker­ry has spent most of her career help­ing orga­ni­za­tions and lead­ers trans­form their approach to fundrais­ing and bring their income to match their impact. She is pas­sion­ate about expe­ri­en­tial learn­ing, geeks out on sim­pli­fy­ing your math and can get just about any­one com­fort­able with ​‘the ask.’ 

Ker­ry feels extreme­ly for­tu­nate to work in the social sec­tor and with peo­ple who are devot­ed to improv­ing our world. 

Her inten­tion is to pro­vide straight­for­ward fundrais­ing strat­e­gy and sup­port based on a method­ol­o­gy that has been field test­ed for 45+ years and raised over $2B across every social cause.

A. Too many to rec­om­mend! I saw Chanel Miller speak at the Cen­ter ear­li­er this year and I final­ly just read her mem­oir — She is an excep­tion­al and inspir­ing sto­ry­teller. Also, I love Kevin Brown’s fundrais­ing con­tent on LinkedIn.
