It is said that "money is the nerve of war", and in the war of making a better world for animals, the same rule applies. The only reason why professional vegan nonprofits, such as Mercy for Animals, PETA, the Paul Watson Foundation or SASHA Farm, exist and thrive is because of money. And that money does not grow on trees: it is the result of extensive fundraising efforts.
And for today's episode, my wish is for vegan organizations, both big and small, to become champions of fundraising. To help us achieve this goal, I am thrilled to welcome Marina Boulos-Winton, a rockstar in the philanthropic world, who has graciously agreed to share with us the secrets behind her success.
Marina is currently the Executive Director of YES Employment + Entrepreneurship. She previously served for ten years as the executive director of Chez Doris, a day shelter for women in difficulty. Prior to this, she held the position of President & CEO at the Foundation of Greater Montreal. Her professional journey also includes serving as the Acting Executive Director of the High-Water Women Foundation, as President and CEO of the national “I Have a Dream Foundation®,” as Assistant National Executive Director of the YWCA, as well as senior executive positions with the national fundraising consulting firm, CCS Fundraising Inc., and with the United Way of New York City.
