Kristine Ruggles is the Executive Director of Christ Clinic/Christ Kitchen where she is responsible for the organization’s consistent achievement of its mission and financial objectives. She is also responsible in leading program development and administration. Kristine has her Bachelor’s in Organizational Management from Whitworth University, has completed both the Authentic Leadership Series and Non-Profit Leadership Board Development Series at Gonzaga University, and is a graduate of Leadership Spokane.

This workshop will cover how successfully raising funds and donations from private institutions, government, or individuals requires a blend of experience and skill, and most importantly, a firm understanding and a consistent practice of raising funds in a responsible and ethical manner. Ethical standards and principles are the foundation for maintaining public trust. This workshop will help you stay current and focused on emerging ethical issues. From this workshop, participants will see fundraising as part of a 360-degree mission that revolves around all the relationships involved: the people we serve in the community, the organizational staff (program and administrative), and the volunteers and financial donors.

Join Kristine at the 3rd annual Inland Northwest Nonprofit Conference – Programs and Sustainability Series, held Thursday, February 7th, 2012, at the Lincoln Center. For more information visit the AE website.
