Allison Erdneka Budschalow (she/her) and Brittany Campese (she/her) met while on a road trip to attend the bi-annual Grassroots Institute for Fundraising Training (GIFT) Conference. There, they learned that they are kindred spirits in the world of resource sharing, generation, and mobilization (aka fundraising and development). Riding high on the lessons learned during the conference, Allison and Brittany returned to Philadelphia with the desire to build up a community of talented and motivated fundraisers who have a shared sense of commitment to each other. They utilize their 20+ years of collective nonprofit and development experience and shared passions for social justice to create stronger, more powerful grassroots organizations and movements in Philadelphia and beyond!
