David Fuerst
Associate Vice President, Global Relationships and Resources
David Fuerst is a donor advisor for Lutheran World Relief. A life-long Lutheran, he joined LWR full-time in 2009 after years of involvement through his local church. His work at LWR brings him great joy, because every day he gets to help people translate their faith into generosity to love their neighbors and solve the world’s biggest problems.
David says engaging with donors is always inspiring. He hopes that in working with him, donors will feel both equipped to do good in the world and affirmed that they are a big part of the solution.
Originally from Nebraska, David graduated from Bellevue University. He is a member of St. James Lutheran Church in Burnsville, Minnesota, and is based in LWR’s Bloomington, Minnesota, office. He starts every day with a fresh cup of coffee — and if he can help it, it was grown by farmers in communities LWR serves.
