In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, Andrea Kihlstedt speaks with Sister Marilyn Lacey, founder and executive director of Mercy Beyond Borders, about how her small international nonprofit raised more than 75% of its $8.5 million campaign goal in less than 11 months.

MARILYN LACEY, a Sister of Mercy, is passionate about making the world a more welcoming place. With abundant grit, humor and grace, she’s been working with displaced refugees since the 1980s. Although she holds a Master’s Degree in Social Welfare from UC Berkeley and a handful of honorary doctorates, she insists that the poor have always been her best teachers.

This episode offers valuable capital campaign guidance for small nonprofits, international organizations, founders, executive directors, development professionals, and anyone wondering whether their donor base is large or wealthy enough to support a major fundraising initiative.
