Earlier this month, members of the Avera Foundation presented at the Association of Fundraising Professionals – South Dakota 2025 Philanthropy Summit. 🌟

Kellie Yackley (Ethical Ethel), Avera Foundation, along with Chief Mission Officer, Dave Belde, were part of a panel discussion on fundraising ethics. Their insights highlighted the importance of integrity, transparency, and trust in philanthropy.

Julie Moore shared best practices on the integrity and hygiene of database management. She taught attendees how they can leverage their database to increase major gifts and ROI with clean data and AI tools.

We are grateful for the chance to network with other fundraisers and be part of an organization that encourages idea sharing for the betterment of all non-profits.
