Matching Gift Challenge

The 2026 Annual Awards for Ethical Leadership Gala marks a milestone for FASPE — and two of its most committed leaders have stepped forward to make it count.

Founding board member — and a 2026 Ethical Leadership Awardee — Fred Marino, along with FASPE's founder and Board Chair David Goldman, have joined to launch Matching Gift Challenge — a matching campaign to deepen FASPE's community of support and build a foundation for our future.

This Moment Matters

FASPE has passed 1,000 Fellows. We are expanding into Civil Service. And we are doing this work at a moment when it feels more urgent than ever — when the question of what ethical leadership looks like in practice is not abstract but immediate. The journalists, lawyers, doctors,  clergy members, business and technology leaders who come through this program carry what they learn into every meeting, hospital, sanctuary, newsroom, and sphere of influence they enter, for the rest of their careers. Our fellows are the reason FASPE exists; just see the work our alumni are doing today to understand the program's impact and why this campaign matters.

Every new or increased gift to FASPE made through December 31, 2026 — including tickets, tables, and sponsorships for the November 9th Awards Dinner — has double the impact, and is matched 2:1

This is a moment for everyone who believes in FASPE's mission to participate — whether you are joining us for the first time or reinforcing your loyal support. Gifts of every size will move us toward the finish line, and every dollar raised is a direct investment in ethical leadership.

There has never been a better moment to support FASPE. Please join us!
