In this episode, Heather sits down with the Development Director at VeDA (Vestibular Disorders Association), who brings over 30 years of nonprofit fundraising experience to the conversation. From regional theater to healthcare, to programs offering chess to low-income students, he has helped organizers raise millions of dollars to fulfill their missions. For Paul, fundraising isn’t just about the money, it’s about the people, relationships and the shared mission that binds communities together.

In this conversation, we discuss:

~ Why fundraising is really about connection, not just donations

~ How you can support in ways that feel authentic, through words, art, social media or simply starting conversations

~ Why balance is a right, not a luxury

~ How to invite your friends and family into supporting the vestibular community

This episode is an invitation to participate. Whether through a post, poem, donation or a partnership, there’s a way for YOU to join in!
