Giving 101: Turning One-Time Donations into Lasting Relationships

Host Organization: Giving Compass

About

Learn ways you can support the organizations in your community, beyond a one-time donation. Sara Lomelin, Executive Director of Philanthropy Together, and Afi Tengue, VP of Philanthropy and Impact at Giving Compass, will discuss the role of giving circles in building relationships in communities and why a singular, reactionary donation doesn’t solve long-term structural issues.

Sara Lomelin is a connector of people and ideas, a relationship builder, and a firm believer that everyone can be a philanthropist. Most recently she served as Senior Director of Leadership Philanthropy at Opportunity Fund, the largest nonprofit lender in the United States. Previously at the Latino Community Foundation, Sara served as Vice President of Philanthropy for seven years, and brought her high-energy approach to creating the Latino Giving Circle Network, the largest network of its kind in the country. Sara is dedicated to a vision in which everyone is invited to participate in philanthropy. Sara graduated with honors from Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City and received her Administration and Management Certificate from Harvard University, where she also earned the prestigious Katie Y. F. Yang Prize. Born and raised in Mexico City, Sara now lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her three teenage children. She enjoys hiking, cooking and laughing with friends.
