DESCRIPTION:The Chamber's Nonprofit Affinity Group gathers the first Thursd
 ay of most months to connect with each other and benefit from some profess
 ional development. We start at 12:30 with time to network\, then have our 
 presenter begin at 1 pm. We welcome you to join us! This month: "Building 
 Lasting Impact: Strategies for Major Donor Cultivation" Major donors can b
 e a dream come true for nonprofit organizations\, as potential long-term s
 ources of support with less paperwork required than for foundation grants\
 , and with more impact than smaller-gift donors. But they also don't typic
 ally advertise their willingness to donate and their giving priorities the
  way a foundation does. So how does one cultivate people who may be in a p
 osition to make sizable gifts to a nonprofit? Heidi Ruehle\, now in her th
 ird executive director and lead fundraiser role with local nonprofits\, wi
 ll share with us from her experience in this area. WHO IS OUR PRESENTER? H
 eidi Ruehle joined the Imagine Foundation in 2024. She has spent over 25 y
 ears in the Oak Park area\, serving in leadership positions for several co
 mmunity and nonprofit organizations. Most recently\, she served as the exe
 cutive director of the Unity Temple Restoration Foundation\, with prior ex
 perience in fundraising and development. Heidi lives in Oak Park and is a 
 parent of two OPRF students. Location and Parking: Location: Tacos '76\, 8
