Not a Boring Newsletter

Two reads that punch above their length. Grab both.

The Art of Withness

A weekly reflection for leaders who want to slow down, listen well, and lead with presence.

Each Wednesday, Kevin Eastway offers grounded insight for nonprofit, ministry, and mission-driven leaders on leadership pressure, board dynamics, staff strain, fundraising anxiety, and the deeper work of discernment.

This is not leadership content built around quick fixes. It is an invitation to pay attention before solving and to walk with people in a way that builds trust and clarity.

Because the first problem named is rarely the real problem.

The Long View

Clear, practical thinking for nonprofit and ministry leaders who are carrying meaningful work.

Every Saturday, Kevin Eastway sends a short email with grounded perspective for leaders navigating board dynamics, fundraising pressure, strategy questions, team strain, and the slow work of organizational health.

The Long View is not another leadership newsletter filled with noise. It is a weekly pause for leaders who want to think more clearly, move less anxiously, and lead with wisdom over time.

Short. Useful. Worth the read.

FUNDRAISE DIFFERENTLY.

FUNDRAISE DIFFERENTLY.

“Eastway’s work follows in the footsteps of Henri Nouwen’s classic study, Spirituality of Fundraising, but it picks up where Nouwen leaves off.

Nouwen is clear that fundraising is the opposite of begging; rather fundraising is proclaiming our mission and inviting others to participate in it.

This is precisely where Kevin picks up in exploring what this relationship might look like. Through his own examples over decades of faith-based fundraising for personal support and programmatic funding, he is refreshingly honest about how he has grown in his own expertise and understanding around fundraising.

And the key takeaway is: it’s about faithful friendship.”

- David P. King, Ph.D. Karen Lake Buttrey Director, Lake Institute on Faith & Giving, Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy
