DBD Team
DBD Group is made up of professionals from the non-profit world, leveraging their decades of fundraising, strategy, financial management and executive recruitment experience to help organizations thrive and make a positive difference in the world.
One of our axioms is “Keep learning, stewarding, and sharing.” We’re big believers in the power of books.
Sure, we’ve got a few good suspense and historical fiction novels on our bedside tables, but today we’d like to share a few non-fiction gems that have inspired us for work – and life.
