      The spiritual dimension of volunteering and giving is often what draws volunteers and contributors to support the YMCA. This session is designed to encourage YMCA to build development programs that nurture the spirit as well as the mind and body of those who are “askers,” “givers,” and “receivers,” in YMCA philanthropy.

Participants in this session will discuss and explore:

• How to nurture the spirit of volunteers and contributors throughthe YMCA development process
• Proven fundraising best practices in a spiritual context
• Ways to remain inclusive and “open to all” while developing a deeply spiritual culture in your YMCA’s philanthropy.
