How The Veritus Way Changed Our Work with Partners: An Interview with the East Texas Food Bank
Description
At the AFP Conference last summer, two fundraisers from the East Texas Food Bank reached out to Jeff. They wanted to share with him how taking our Certification Course two years ago has made a huge difference for them in building deeper donor relationships and bringing in more revenue for their mission.
