What you do at NFCYM?
As the Director of Mission Advancement, I foster critical areas of internal and external resources, relationships, and funding in an effort to advance the mission of NFCYM. I connect NFCYM to the people, places, and organizations that can help us grow our ministry by sharing the story of NFCYM.
What is the best part about your job – why do you do what you do?
The best part of my job are connections and relationships I have been able make. It is a great joy to be a part of something bigger than I am and take a journey with passionate, caring, and committed people.
Why should members connect with you?
I’ve worked with faith-based non-profits for nearly 15 years. I’m here to be a great resource and thought partner to help get your “next big thing” off the ground.
Ask Matt about fundraising, development, strategic planning, grant writing, and relationship building. He will hold office hours every Tuesday and Wednesday for the month of October.
