Welcome to another edition of the CCF Rewind. This week, we have essays that are two different flavors of mad inspiring. One is about how a bunch of these ideas we’ve been sold about ‘professionalism’ have all been a lie (a lie!). The other is about how we as fundraisers are powerful beings and the work we do outside of our day jobs can make a huge difference in building a more just world.
