Episode Synopsis "Money Follows Vision - Fundraising and Leadership with Paul Johnson"

Money! From small projects to giant ones, the ability to raise money in the cultural nonprofit sector is crucial to growing and thriving. But, how do you go about it? In this episode we talk with Paul Johnson, the founder and president of Creative Fundraising Advisors, about how directors and other leadership should start with vision as a means to solid fundraising practices. Paul Johnson has over three decades of experience in development, and in just the last five years he and his team have raised over a billion dollars for their clients. Through examples including the evolution of the Art of the Islamic Worlds project at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and a major campaign for St. John's College, Paul reflects on the ways working with communities, listening to communities you serve, and focusing in on where you want to go, are all key to successful campaigns. We end on a cliffhanger, so be sure to catch the follow up episode with Paul coming soon.
