In this episode of The Donor Centric Approach, I sit down with my friend, Rosie Chinea Shawver, Executive Director of the Catholic Campus Ministry Association (CCMA).
Rosie shares her own journey into campus ministry and the fire that continues to fuel her mission today. Together, we dive into:
The unique challenges of reaching students on today’s college campuses
Why campus ministers need support, mentorship, and resources to thrive
How CCMA is equipping ministers nationwide to accompany students in faith
Practical lessons in fundraising and development that apply to any nonprofit or ministry
One of my favorite parts of this conversation is how Rosie frames fundraising as accompaniment—a spiritual act of walking with donors, just as ministers walk with students. Her perspective is a powerful reminder that development is not just about money—it’s about relationship, clarity, and mission.
