Keynote Speaker and CCF Principles Workshop Facilitator

Michelle Shireen Muri
Co-Founder and Co-Chair of Community-Centric Fundraising
Creator and host of The Ethical Rainmaker Podcast

Michelle is a fundraising consultant with the woman of color collective Freedom Conspiracy which uses a community-centered lens to look at the strategies and tactics of day-to-day fundraising. Her podcast, The Ethical Rainmaker, explores the ways in which the nonprofit and philanthropy sectors are complicit in colonization, and the ways we can work to undo those systems of oppression.

Bringing passion and vision for how the third sector can do better, Michelle has partnered with movement leaders and organizations who inspire social change, like Edgar Villanueva and the Decolonizing Wealth Project, Code2040, Columbia Legal Services, Designing Justice + Designing Spaces, Northwest Harvest, Launch and others.

Michelle enjoys helping individuals and organizations explore their emotional narratives around money and develop awareness of how those narratives affect the movements they serve.
