## Resource

Tatumn Zale, CFRE is assistant director of development at AllThrive 365 and one of AFP’s 2026 Outstanding Young Professionals. Tatumn has quickly built a reputation as a creative, disciplined, and deeply human fundraising leader. At AllThrive 365, she has helped revitalize donor communications, rebuild fundraising events, strengthen corporate partnerships, and grow both recurring and individual giving — including a 131% increase in individual giving in just one year. She now manages $6 million in annual grant revenue, has increased event sponsorship revenue by 233%, secured major gifts, and expanded practical in-kind partnerships serving low-income seniors. Tatumn is also the co-founder of Kindling Impact Consulting which works with small to mid-sized nonprofits. Recorded live in the Exchange at AFP ICON 2026, this conversation explores Tatumn’s journey into fundraising, how theater and sales helped shape her presence, storytelling, and connection with donors, how caring for a family member has informed her work with older adults, and what the coming silver tsunami means for philanthropy, nonprofits, and the future of care.
