An organization-wide philanthropic culture enhances fundraising results, strengthens relationships and leads to mission fulfillment. A philanthropic culture is the polar opposite of conducting fund development planning and activities in isolation. Instead, leaders, staff and volunteers all understand they are part of the fundraising team, and that every interaction with the public contributes to fundraising.
Join us for an engaging panel conversation with local, fundraising leaders who will explore the power of philanthropic culture and how you can use it to strengthen overall organizational capacity and enhance your fundraising results.
Our panelists:
- John Ciullo, Senior Director of Development, Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas
- Shana Hazan, Chief Philanthropy Officer, Jewish Family Service of San Diego
- Shannon Stubblefield, Associate Executive Director of Philanthropy, North County Lifeline
- Brent Wakefield, Senior Director, External Relations, Salk Institute

Lee and Toni Leichtag established the Leichtag Foundation in 1991 following the sale of their business. Lee and Toni were lifelong entrepreneurs with a passion for innovation and for supporting talent. They believed that only with big risk comes big reward. Both born to families in poverty, Toni to a single mother, they strongly believed in helping those most in need and most vulnerable in our community. While they supported many causes, their strongest support was for young children and the elderly, two demographics who particularly lack voice in our society.

You would think that as the executive director of San Diego LGBT Pride, Fernando Zweifach López Jr., who uses the pronoun they, has done all the coming out they possibly can. A queer, non-binary individual who has worked for many years on civil rights issues, López also speaks openly and often about their father’s family, Mexican-American migrant workers who tilled the fields of rural California.
