Building a Movement: Strengthening the Nonprofit Sector Through Advocacy

Published: Nov. 2, 2015, 8 p.m.

When Eric Weinheimer accepted the President and CEO position at Donors Forum, he says, his friend Kate Maehr, President and CEO of the Greater Chicago Food Depository, gave him a simple and clear directive: “Create a movement.” If ever there was a time for a movement in the nonprofit sector, the time is now. Under Eric’s leadership, Donors Forum is eager to lead this movement, and works with all of its members – foundations, providers, advisors, corporations, and the government sector – and engaging other social purpose organizations to build healthier, safer, and richer communities in Illinois.
