In this episode of The Responsive Lab, Stephen Boudreau and Carly Berna are joined by Executive Vice President at DickersonBakker, Andrew Olsen, for a discussion about nonprofit fundraising and how to give donors a better giving experience. They dive into the current climate of fundraising and discuss what it means to create a major-donor like strategy. They take an in-depth look at the ‘responsive' part of Responsive Fundraising and talk about what it really means to be personal with your donors when communicating with them.

Other Topics Include: - The changing demographics in the fundraising landscape - Why donors have started to lose trust in nonprofits, and how to overcome it. - Using data and technology to connect with your donors - The dilemma surrounding ‘mass customization' - How leadership can either make or break a nonprofits ability to embrace change Discover more at virtuous.org/podcast.

Andrew Olsen and Jolene Allphin co-wrote 'Follow Me to Zion: Stories from the Willie Handcart Pioneers'. Respectively, they wrote further books about these pioneers, in Andrew's book he says, 'although this story is one of the most frequently told of all Mormon pioneer accounts, it is also among the least understood.' I wanted to speak to both of them about why they felt to write extensively about the Willie & Martin Handcart Pioneers, but also to find out why these stories aren't fully understood and to hear the lesser-known stories.Some highlights from this episode include a key moment in the rescue that showed Brigham Young's prophetic mantle, what camp in Iowa would have been like, and some incredible, faith-inspiring stories of individuals.--You can find more of Andrew and Jolene's work at the following links:- https://www.ldsliving.com/andrew-d-olsen-and-jolene-s-allphin - https://www.amazon.co.uk › Follow-Me-Zion-Handcart...Follow For All The Saints on social media for updates and inspiring content:www.instagram.com/forallthesaintspodhttps://www.facebook.com/forallthesaintspod/For All The Saints episodes are released every Monday on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and more:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVDUQg_qZIU&list=UULFFf7vzrJ2LNWmp1Kl-c6K9Qhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3j64txm9qbGVVZOM48P4HS?si=bb31d048e05141f2https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/for-all-the-saints/id1703815271If you have feedback or any suggestions for topics or guests, connect with Ben & Sean via hello@forallthesaints.org or DM on InstagramConversations to Refresh Your Faith.For All The Saints podcast was established in 2023 by Ben Hancock to express his passion and desire for more dialogue around faith, religious belief, and believers' perspectives on the topics of our day.

I can't solve global poverty, but can I help intervene so that one person doesn't have to suffer the way they are right now.”Andrew Olsen, Senior Vice President at DickersonBakkerWhile we often discuss innovations and ideas in construction, this episode takes a different tack. We've featured guest Andrew Olsen on the show before (in Episode 66), but he shares a very personal story this time.Andrew experienced a life-changing event at a young age that affected his life's trajectory and inspired him to pursue his current career. As a teenager, his family was broken apart. Andrew was forced to grow up quickly, dealing with poverty and change.Tune in as Andrew tells his story and how it influences his actions even today.Topics discussed in this interview:- Andrew's story- Dealing with addiction- Resources to seek out- Advice for dealing with trauma- How family trauma informed Andrew's approach as a husband and father- Can you still find God in times of trial?- How to comfort someone going through a tough time- Rapid fire questionsResources Mentioned:Salvation Army- https://www.salvationarmyusa.org/usn/rehabilitation/City Gate- https://www.citygatenetwork.org/agrm/Locate_a_Mission.aspTeen Challenge- https://www.globaltc.org/contact-us/Reach out to Andrew on LinkedIn, email him at andrew@andrewolsen.net, or call him at 612-201-1967For more Construction Disruption, listen on Apple Podcasts or YouTubeConnect with us on Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedInThis episode was produced by Isaiah Industries, Inc.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrpChartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

How many times have you asked where to find new donors? Maybe that's the wrong question. Today, Andrew Olsen joins us to discuss acquiring donors through inbound strategies. Did you know your potential donor's attention span is only 8 seconds? Let's make those seconds count!

Nonprofits have to answer so many questions these days: What's the best way to invest in my nonprofit's impact? How do I lead my team through today's societal changes? How do I increase donor retention rates and hit fundraising goals and avoid burnout and stay on mission and still make a grocery run before dinnertime?We've got a guest here who's going to help us answer a few of these and hopefully change the way we approach relationships for the benefit of the whole changemaking sector. Andrew Olsen is Senior VP of Fundraising Solutions at Dickerson Bakker and a close friend of Funraise… and he's going to blow your mind, listeners.As a nonprofit consultant himself, David can relate to a lot of what Andrew is sharing, and in fact have explored that intersection of leadership, nonprofits, changemaking, and culture on his podcast.But this conversation was different. Andrew dropped a bomb on us right at the end—a mindset shift that just turned everything upside down. We encourage you to listen as Andrew intentionally leads us down a path of long-term donor-organization relationship evolution and then changes the game with one sentence. When you're done, listen again with that one key takeaway and prepare to unlock answers like never before.

“I decided early on that I wanted not just to have a job, but I wanted to have something a lot bigger than that. I wanted to have impact. I've learned that in 100 out of 100 instances, it's always an emotional story that connects to that person's heart that drives them to want to give. It's about connecting your cause and your story with that person's heart.” Andrew Olsen, DickersonBakker The idea that people buy with emotion, not logic, is a long-held belief in sales.

I wonder if we’ve got the essence of fundraising all wrong? As Riccardo shared his story, it occurred to me that it was the conversations that most characterized his gift-giving experiences at MIT. We would do well to consider that the essence of great fundraising is a conversation; or, to be more precise, a series of regular and ongoing conversations. We all know that it’s become quite cliche to suggest that fundraising is about relationships; however, I believe we’re all deliberately ambiguous about what that means for fear that we will be found a fraud. If conversation is the essence of great fundraising then perhaps our concern should be the quality of those conversations. Let’s be real: absent genuine conversation, what is a relationship anyway.

Shelby has been a part of the team at Colby College for 5 years. In her role, Shelby leads audience-centric strategy and content for annual fund communications in addition to managing relationships with class volunteers to help them reach ambitious goals. Colby is currently in the midst of a campaign for $750M, the largest campaign in liberal arts college history. Shelby and the team at Colby are aware that their unwillingness to take on risks is actually the biggest risk of all. They collectively understand that "We've always done it that way" is an especially expensive way of thinking and just don’t buy it. What occurred to me during our conversation is that Shelby really enjoys her work, which isn’t something I always pick up on with other guests. She appreciates her team’s sense of community and collaboration as well as their willingness to scrap bad ideas. She believes fundraising should not be rote or mechanical and doesn’t have to resemble an assembly line. Later this week, our recovery plan will be available free for download.

Karlene Jennings has served as Executive Director of Development at UNC, Greensboro University Libraries since July 2016. Karlene is a passionate advocate for the life-changing impact of education and libraries and finds much joy in creating partnerships with her donors. Karlene has co-authored two books about library fundraising and has taught graduate courses for UNC, Greensboro, the University of Tennessee, and the College of William & Mary. As a dancer, Karlene described the pivot as a turn on an axis without going anywhere. The term has long been a buzzword for startups however it seems to have taken on new meaning recently. It occurs to me that pivoting is just one of a number of skills that we expect of talented dancers. When it comes to fundraising, perhaps rather than allowing recent upsets in the economy to persuade us to move in another direction, we just need to be certain that they know how to dance in the first place.  On Wednesday, our twelve-month recovery plan will be available to download for free.

SUMMARY David Kamp shines light on a bright, optimistic movement in his book, Sunny Days: The Children's Television Revolution that Changed America. When a group of progressive intellectuals, artists, and activists decided to focus on disadvantaged children, a children’s television revolution began. Driven by their agenda was to “do good,” this group also believed “the federal government could and should play a major role in early-childhood initiatives.” Fortunately, political winds blew in their sails, providing both funding and enthusiasm for a plethora of children’s television educational programming in the 60s and 70s. Meanwhile, the social sciences were also gaining credibility, adding psychological and educational underpinnings to what may have otherwise been perceived as simply silly or fluffy. With the burgeoning popularity of Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and the political will to provide free access to learning, children’s television enjoyed the “Age of Enlightenment, Jr.” Further fueling this critical movement were “media professionals, thought leaders, and politicians alike prioritizing children and education as they never had before—and in so doing, changing the lives of millions.” In short, Kamp’s Sunny Days, substantiated by interviews and research, helps paint a picture of a rare time in history when people chose to put the public good above their own careerism. KEY PEOPLE & PROGRAMS Joan Ganz Cooney & Lloyd Morrisette – led the charge to leverage television for preparing preschoolers for school Bob Keeshan - founder, creator, and main character of the show Captain Kangaroo; eschewed using children’s television to promote children’s toy guns and other toys Children’s Television Workshop (CTW) – original American nonprofit responsible for the production of several educational children's programs—including its first and best-known, Sesame Street Sesame Street – the granddaddy of all children’s television programs developed in the 60s and 70s Jon Stone – original conceiver and key showrunner of Sesame Street; brought a certain hipness to TV, making the show popular with children and adults alike Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In – American sketch comedy show that inspired the pacing for Sesame Street Jim Henson’s Muppets – held magic in their abstract nature; stimulated imaginations Electric Company – a fast-paced spinoff of Sesame Street designed to teach Schoolhouse Rock – conceived by ad men at McCaffrey & McCall when they recognized children could easily memorize words to songs Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood - long-running children’s program conceived by Fred Rogers and informed by developmental pediatric psychiatrist Margaret McFarland Matt Robinson – creator of Muppet character Roosevelt Franklin whose mannerisms and speech were primarily representative of an African-American man Free to Be…You and Me – program hosted by Marlo Thomas; promoted a strong feminist agenda QUOTE FROM KAMP “Children’s advocates…had high regard for children, believing them capable of intellectual and emotional engagement, and of seeing through cutesy artifice.” BUY Sunny Days: The Children's Television Revolution That Changed America RECOMMENDATION BUY Puppet Pals, brightly-colored, oversized children’s puppets (designed and sold by Andrew Olsen).

Leadership is influence.2. Everyone is a leader and everyone has to grow to maximize leadership impact.3. Leadership is about people. If the people aren’t better as a result of your presence, you’re not leading well. 4. Leading is challenging. As John Maxwell says, “If you’re a leader, there will never be two easy consecutive days in your live.” 5. If you wouldn’t follow yourself, why would you expect others to follow you? 6. The power of “just relaxing” in your leadership.7. Telling people what you think they want to hear isn’t leadership. You have to care enough to be candid, even when the feedback might hurt a little. 8. In leadership, character trumps skill all day long.9. The most influential leaders love people, but they don’t depend on being loved by people. 10. If you’re going to grow as a leader, you’re going to have to take risks. You’ll fail sometimes, but that’s ok. That’s part of the process. There’s so much more in this episode than what I’ve outlined here.

Andrew Olsen shares from Genesis at Mukinbudin Church of Christ 24/11/2019

In this interview we talk with our good friend and colleague, Scott Koskoski, Senior Performance Consultant and Partner at BrightDot about the critical role that emotional intelligence plays in a nonprofit's fundraising success. This is an eye-opening topic that is sure to add value to any fundraiser or nonprofit leader's day. We also take a few minutes at the end of the show to talk with Scott about the state of fundraising after what appears to have been a less than great 2018 year-end fundraising season. Show Transcript: Andrew Olsen:                  Okay, we are recording now. Andrew Olsen:                  Good afternoon, everyone. This is Andrew Olsen, co-host of the Rainmaker Fundraising Podcast. I'm here with my good friend and colleague Roy Jones, co-host of the Rainmaking podcast. Roy, how are you? Roy Jones:                          Great to be here. It's going to be fun. I love talking to folks that have done university fundraising in the past. This whole subject of emotional intelligence, I like getting into that. So, I'm excited to talk to Scott. I'll let you introduce him. Andrew Olsen:                  Yeah, I'm really excited about this as well. I think our listeners are in for a treat. I have gotten to know Scott Koskoski over the last ... Well, Scott, what's it been? Five months, I think? Scott Koskoski:                  Yeah. Actually, a little more. Maybe eight or nine months. Andrew Olsen:                  Okay, so eight or nine. I can't count. Scott is a great guy. He's the Senior Performance Mentor & Partner at a firm called BrightDot. In Scott's background, before coming to BrightDot, he led all the philanthropic strategy and execution at Morris Animal Foundation, and then he's held major gift roles at University of Denver, Temple University, and UT Chattanooga. So, some great sector experience. Andrew Olsen:                  I have just really enjoyed getting to know you, Scott. I mean, you've got a great personal story and temperament in the way you approach fund development. I'm really excited to have you on today to talk to our listeners about how you and your firm approach philanthropy, because I think it's ... A lot of people consult in this space and a lot of people talk about how to fix fundraising, how to coach fundraisers, but so many of them focus on the tactics. And I love that you guys get so far above that and really deal with some of the root issues. I'm excited to talk about that with you. But before I do that, I just want to turn the mic over to you and ask for you to tell us a little bit more about yourself. Scott Koskoski:                  Andrew, thanks. Roy, thanks. And Andrew, to your introduction, you wrote down almost everything I said for you to say about me, which is great. Andrew Olsen:                  You can pay me later. Scott Koskoski:                  The check is in the mail to your favorite charity. But

Show Transcript: Andrew Olsen:                  Hey everyone, welcome. This is Andrew Olsen with my colleague and cohost, Roy Jones, hosts of the Rainmaker Fundraising Podcast. Really excited to be with you today, and we are super excited to have Mark McIntyre as our guest today. Andrew Olsen:                  Mark has lived and work in the DC area for the last 33 years, and during that time, Mark has done so many things. He's worked for congress, he's worked in the White House, he's helped to build the largest privately-owned government relations agency in history. Andrew Olsen:                  Today, Mark's co founder of Merchant McIntyre and Associates, and they're leading a federal grants agency that exclusively serves nonprofit organizations. During his 33 year career, Mark and his team have helped secure hundreds of million dollars for all sorts of different nonprofit organizations through the federal government. Andrew Olsen:                  In fact, I believe, at a time, Roy might've even been a client of Mark's. Roy Jones:                          I have to admit, I was and that's how I first indirectly met you, Andrew, is we reached out to Mark's agency and they helped us when I was director of development, to get, I think it was about 12 million dollars worth of government funding programs. So, I have to plead guilty. Mark McIntyre:                 [inaudible 00:01:38] Andrew Olsen:                  Mark, welcome. It's good to have you. Mark McIntyre:                 Thank you Andrew, thank you Roy. Good to be with you guys again.
