People in Fundraising, season 3, ep. 26: Eclipse Research Group's Crystal Leochko Johnston, Manitoba
Happy Canada Day to nonprofiteers in or from Canada! To celebrate this national holiday, Crystal Leochko Johnston, MA joined the People in Fundraising podcast a few weeks ago. She is my first guest from the Canadian province of Manitoba, and I am glad to welcome her to this program!
In our conversation, Crystal discusses:
* Her motivation to launch Eclipse Research Group to support fundraising clients with prospect identification and wealth analysis, after just a few years working in the nonprofit world
* Her wide-ranging civic involvement, including with the Rossdale Ukrainian Dance School as its fundraising coordinator (Crystal was a Ukrainian dancer when she was growing up) and with the Tetra Society of North America, which supplies devices to people who have physical disability
* The helpful impact of prospect research and overall nonprofit leaders like Jennifer Filla, Helen E. Brown, Tracey Church, MLIS, and Jennifer Walton, CFRE, who Crystal cites as her mentor.
* Her involvement with Apra Canada, including co-chairing this chapter's conference and serving as a mentor; and being involved with AFP Manitoba as a board member and co-chair of its National Philanthropy Awards ceremony, among other assignments.
Thank you Crystal for a really enjoyable interview, spotlighting your passion for nonprofit work as a professional and a longtime volunteer!
