CDC Gather & Grow: Turning Mission into Measurable Impact: Faith-Based Fundraising That Inspires Action

May 7, 2026 1:30 PM - 2:45 PM (EDT)

Description

Faith communities have long been catalysts for generosity, yet many organizations struggle to translate deeply rooted mission and spiritual purpose into measurable fundraising impact in today’s evolving philanthropic landscape.

This Gather & Grow conversation will explore how faith-based organizations can move from mission inspiration to measurable results by aligning spiritual values with strategic fundraising practices. Together, we will discuss how theology, storytelling, and authentic relationship-building can strengthen donor engagement while remaining grounded in purpose.

Participants will explore questions such as:

•    How can faith-based organizations translate mission and ministry into clear, measurable fundraising goals?

•    What role do storytelling, community relationships, and spiritual values play in sustaining generosity?

•    How can digital tools, such as peer-to-peer fundraising and emerging technologies, support faith-centered fundraising without losing authenticity?

Through small-group dialogue and shared insights, participants will exchange practical ideas and experiences for building fundraising approaches that resonate across generations and communities.

Moderated by: 

  • Richard Geiger, DataAxle Nonprofit

Co-Facilitated by: 

  • Shannon Priddy, Chaminade College Preparatory 
  • Kenya Roberts, CFRE, Marcano Thyme Collective

Gather + Grow is a virtual gathering held 2-3 times a year and designed specifically for the busy CDC professional. Each gathering rotates the focus to a timely industry topic, led by expert co-facilitators who frame the discussion before handing it over to you. We prioritize active engagement over passive listening and use breakout rooms for group collaboration. Whether we are dissecting emerging trends or refining core strategies, the goal is for you to leave each session with actionable ideas, a refreshed perspective, and a strengthened network of peers who understand your unique context.

What to Expect:

💡 Focused Topics: We dive deep into one specific theme per gathering.

🤝 Peer-Led: Facilitated by fellow leaders in the field.

⚡ Interactive Format: A blend of expert insight and small-group breakouts makes you a participant, not just an attendee.
