Welcome to The Business of Giving, where we spotlight the people and ideas transforming philanthropy and social impact! Today, I'm thrilled to introduce Josh Birkholz, CEO of BWF, the powerhouse consultancy that's been sparking transformative change since its iconic work on the Statue of Liberty restoration. Josh is a pioneer in data-driven fundraising strategy, co-author of BeneFactors, and one of the most influential voices championing bold, mission-first approaches in modern philanthropy.In this episode, you'll discover how to build momentum in uncertain times, leverage donor data effectively, and lead with courageous clarity—essential insights for navigating 2025's economic challenges. So Let's get started.

As most of you who have been listening to this podcast for a while already know, in 2023, my team and I launched A Bolder Way Forward as an initiative within the Utah Women & Leadership Project. The mission of a BWF is to ensure that more girls, women, and their families thrive. In this episode I do a quick overview of BWF and then provide a few updates and insights on where we are at and some current needs that we have. As background, national and statewide studies continue to show that women and girls in Utah are not thriving in critical areas. Year after year, Utah continues to have high levels of domestic violence, sexual assault, child sexual abuse, and gender-based discrimination, while also ranking as the worst state for women's equality and having low levels of women's leadership representation in nearly all domains, including politics and business. Although the needle has moved slightly in a few areas, with its current trajectory it will take three or four decades to make notable progress. This is why Icontinue to say “It is time for Utah to embrace A Bolder Way Forward (BWF).” I absolutely feel called to this work so I've combined one of my life callings with some paid work and a lot of community service! We all serve in different ways. Also, learn more at www.abolderwayforward.org!

In a time when respectful dialogue and understanding are more essential than ever, we invite community members, leaders, and advocates to join us for an episode highlighting an engaging panel dedicated to fostering civility and dignity across Utah. Tami Pyfer discusses the Dignity Index, which serves as a powerful tool for measuring and promoting dignity in our interactions. This framework helps individuals and organizations assess their impact on others and encourages practices that uphold the inherent worth of every person. Becky Edwards talks about her passion around electing responsive, thoughtful Utahns who will focus on civility and have complex policy conversations that focus on true governing. Civility and dignity are overarching topics important to A Bolder Way Forward (BWF). The BWF aims to inspire Utahns to engage in civil discourse and make meaningful connections across differences. To do this, we encourage Utahns across the state to focus on active listening, empathy, and respectful communication, which will pave the way for creating positive change in Utah.Support the show

In this episode of the First Day Podcast, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., is joined by Angela Altamore, Associate Vice President of Donor Relations and Experience at BWF. Angela provides an in-depth look at the importance of donor relations in nonprofit fundraising, breaking down the distinctions between donor relations, donor stewardship, and donor experience. She uses the metaphor of building a house to explain these terms: donor relations act as the “blueprint” for a donor's overall journey, donor stewardship serves as the “foundation” with timely acknowledgments and impact reports, and donor experience adds the “finishing touches” that elevate donor engagement. Angela explains how nonprofits are shifting from focusing solely on individual gifts to fostering long-term donor relationships. She notes that prioritizing donor retention is not only a cost-effective strategy but also a way to honor donors' commitment and amplify their impact over time. Angela also emphasizes the need for nonprofits to align fundraising teams and donor relations professionals, advocating for shared metrics and cross-training to strengthen internal collaboration and improve donor experiences. The conversation addresses the challenges nonprofits face in balancing short-term fundraising goals with long-term relationship building. Angela highlights practical strategies for keeping donors engaged between asks, such as creating personalized touchpoints through events, storytelling, and mentorship opportunities. She also stresses the importance of showing donors the impact of their contributions, ensuring they feel valued beyond monetary transactions. Finally, Angela emphasizes that successful donor relations are transformational, not transactional. By fostering a sense of community among donors and creating opportunities for meaningful engagement, nonprofits can build deeper, lasting connections. The episode closes with resources from The Fund Raising School, including courses, webinars, and training programs to help nonprofits elevate their donor relations strategies. It's a powerful reminder that investing in donor relations is key to achieving long-term success and impact.

In this episode of "The First Day from the Fund Raising School," host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D. discusses the key findings of the 2024 Giving USA report with Josh Birkholz, CEO of BWF and Board Chair of the Giving USA Foundation. The conversation kicks off with the staggering headline figure—$557 billion in charitable donations, the highest ever. Adjusted for inflation, however, most donation sources show a decline, except for bequests. Birkholz clarifies that, unlike the stock market, these donations are "new gifts" each year, underscoring the sector's continued resilience despite economic pressures like inflation. Inflation plays a big role in the analysis of charitable giving, affecting both donor behavior and the perceived value of contributions. While everyday donors may feel the pinch, high-net-worth individuals continue to contribute significantly, often through structured vehicles like foundations and donor-advised funds (DAFs). Birkholz also emphasizes that giving has remained around 2% of the U.S. GDP, a consistent trend through economic highs and lows, signaling the cultural value Americans place on philanthropy. A key topic of discussion is how charitable giving has evolved, especially with the rise of DAFs and other structured mechanisms that may distort perceptions of individual giving. Birkholz highlights that while mega-donors like Mackenzie Scott and Michael Bloomberg continue to make headlines, the ultra-high net worth segment saw fewer mega-gifts this year. However, he stresses that generosity remains robust, even if the methods of giving are changing, with more people opting for innovative ways to contribute. The episode closes on a thoughtful note about the broader definition of generosity. Beyond the Giving USA data, Birkholz reminds us that acts of kindness, such as tipping generously or supporting GoFundMe campaigns, also reflect the American spirit of giving. Stanczykiewicz encourages nonprofits to adjust their fundraising strategies by factoring inflation into their goals, while continuing to connect with donors at all levels, reinforcing the joy and purpose behind charitable giving.
