Quotes from Jaclyn
“I started my career in fundraising when, as an academic researcher, my funding was cut. I realized through this experience and my work as an outreach ambassador that philanthropy can make a huge difference for today’s students. I never want a student who is driven to make a difference to lose an opportunity because the funds aren’t there. Providing this opportunity is something that really inspires donors.”
“I love data. Looking at your database to make informed decisions about how to approach your donors is the way we can all have the most success as fundraisers. And, when we use data to drive our outreach, we produce a more personalized and engaging donor experience.”
