Dec 11, 2025 • 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Adaptive Leadership, Equity & Inclusion, Operations & Financial Management • Free Event, Rotary Charities Event

Offered by Rotary Charities through a collaborative funding partnership with the Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation, the Oleson Foundation, and the Huckle Family Foundation, join us as we explore how to make purpose-driven and values-based decisions around programming, staffing, and resource allocation and how to communicate those choices with clarity and courage. The session will also offer adaptive fundraising strategies that respond to evolving donor behavior and systemic realities, helping organizations build resilience and donor trust.

Learning Objectives:

Clarify what your organization is trying to sustain, shift, or scale—and why—using purpose-driven and values-aligned decision-making resources and processes.
Translate strategic decisions into donor-facing messaging that is transparent, consistent, and aligned with your organization’s values and strategic priorities.
Learn adaptive strategic planning and fundraising approaches that reflect current donor behavior, economic shifts, and organizational capacity.
Strengthen collaboration between leadership, fund development, and communications staff to ensure coherence between internal decisions and external communications.

This workshop will be led by Megan Motil, of Parallel Solutions, and Christie Perdue, of The Solvent Group. No cost associated.
