8. CASE STUDY: How Power Partners Supports Your Funding & the Mental Health of Fundraisers with Hilary Wolken

In this episode, I interview Hillary Woken, the individual giving manager for the Institute for Sustainable Communities. We dive into the transformative effect the Power Partners program has had on her approach to fundraising and mental health. Hillary underscores the shift from a scarcity mindset to genuine connections with donors and shared values, impacting her fundraising outcomes. She discusses the challenges fundraisers often face, including pressures tied to fundraising targets, and personal struggles with anxiety. The Power Partners program has helped her navigate setbacks, foster grace, and benefit from a supportive community with group coaching calls. Our conversation also emphasizes the integral role of fundraising in building networks, relationships, and advocates for the organization. We acknowledge the importance of introspection and confronting underlying fears for personal growth and success within the program. Despite requiring time, effort, and practice, Power Partners offers a long-term, transformative approach to fundraising that surpasses quick fixes. Hillary concludes the interview expressing gratitude for the program and its community, appreciating the opportunity to connect with like-minded fundraisers and the sense of support and growth facilitated by Power Partners.
