SUCCESS STORY
How Nigel Harris helped Mater Foundation achieve lasting impact
When Nigel Harris first started at Mater Foundation, he was one member of a small team. The foundation was running a variety of fundraising programs to support the work of the Mater hospitals.
These programs had evolved independent of each other, with one program led by the CEO and another led by a Board member. A third program was an iconic community fundraising program, just returning to viability.
