Nonprofit GrowthDevelopmentCase Study
Written By Sherry Quam Taylor

Suzy Myers Jackson didn’t expect to have a career in fundraising, but when the opportunity to lead an organization that aligned with her passion for theatre presented itself, she hit the ground running. After 17 years at Opening Act New York, Suzy became the Executive Director of SparkYouth NYC. Now, she’s bringing a refreshing style of tried and true fundraising opportunities to expand opportunities for young people in New York City.

In this podcast Case Study you’ll hear:

✔️ We all learn from experience, but establishing a process to evaluate and adapt to those experiences can make all the difference for your organization

✔️ Skills you have developed prior to becoming a fundraiser will always come in handy, like theatre!

✔️ Prioritizing relationship building leading up to the event makes a tremendous impact on how successful the event is for your organization

✔️ Relationships held by members of your Board of Directors can bring new energy to your events and lead to future connections
