Motivated by a heart for the vulnerable and a desire to steward God’s resources, Dan launched Flourish Fund to leverage his unique professional experiences and relationships for the common good. Dan’s vision for Flourish Fund is that it would create and promote places where hope is restored, human lives are dignified, and communities are strengthened through models of radical generosity and collaboration.
