This is another episode of the Emerging Wildlife Conservation Leaders program series!

Whether you’re trying to protect a local park, rally donations for your nonprofit, or simply get your friends to recycle, one of the hardest parts of making change is inspiring others to care. How do you move people from awareness to action? That’s the art of fundraising- and it’s about far more than asking for money.

In this episode, David Tucker of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation pulls back the curtain on what he’s learned after years of connecting people’s passions with one of the most ambitious ecosystem restoration efforts in the world. Through stories of the Bay, David shares practical strategies that anyone can use to promote their own cause.
