Rather than engage in more traditional fundraising, Fetzer constellates around the goal of deepening existing relationships, exploring new mission-aligned relationships, and fostering genuine connections. In short: from a philanthropic standpoint, we seek to collectively empower and fuel this Sacred-driven movement by friend-raising, as opposed to more transactional fundraising.
By cultivating and broadening an authentic circle of interconnected individuals and organizations, meaningful and sustained action follows. While Fetzer shares practices and provides guidance to donors, advisors and family offices, the Institute’s focus is on developing lasting relationships through spiritual advising and accompaniment.
This allows us to be more engagement-driven — emphasizing depth of trust, shared values, partnership manifestation, communities convening, and shared ownership of outcomes.
