ACF is a Springboard for Leadership

"ACF is where I found my professional home. A place that pushed me to step into leadership roles at a variety of levels and encouraged me to seek and do better for myself, the organizations I represent, and my fellow Christian fundraising professionals. ACF taught me that fundraising is ministry, and it has given me the space to claim this ministry as my vocation."

-Jamie Lennon - Manager, Congregational Engagement - Lutheran World Relief - Sioux Falls, South Dakota
