Conventional medicine often stops at the numbers, low AMH, high FSH for Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) and turns quickly to donor eggs or IVF. But through a functional fertility lens, we can uncover hidden factors like inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, gut health, and hormone imbalances that may support ovarian function and improve pregnancy success. In this episode of Get Pregnant Naturally, Fab Fertile founder Sarah Clark explains how functional fertility strategies can help reverse POI and improve your chances of conceiving with your own eggs. You'll also hear Amanda's story: she was told she'd never conceive naturally with an AMH of 0.08 ng/mL, yet went on to have her daughter. This episode is for you if: You've been told your only option with POI, low AMH, or high FSH is donor eggs You've experienced recurrent miscarriage or failed IVF cycles You want evidence-based strategies to improve egg quality and fertility outcomes naturally We'll cover the difference between genetic and idiopathic POI, why functional fertility shines in unexplained cases, and the top mistakes people make with a POI diagnosis. You'll leave with practical steps you can take right now to support ovarian function.

Episode 36: Center for Arizona Policy, Inc., et al. v. Arizona Secretary of State, et al.Center for Arizona Policy, et al. v. Arizona Secretary of State, et al., argued before the Arizona Supreme Court on September 11, 2025. Argued by Andrew Gould (on behalf of Center for Arizona Policy, Inc., et al.) and Eric Fraser and Alexander Samuels on behalf of Arizona.Background of the case [from the Institute for Free Speech amicus brief]: Proposition 211 imposes sweeping disclosure rules unlike anything seen before. On every metric, the law expands on its predecessors. It covers more people, more speech, for longer time. Where other laws narrow, Proposition 211 widens. It is a drastic evolution in compelled disclosure—and one that should not survive constitutional scrutiny. But what kind of scrutiny even applies? The First Amendment requires what's called “exacting scrutiny.” See Ams. for Prosperity Found. v. Bonta, 594 U.S. 595, 607 (2021) (“AFPF”). It's a high bar in theory—part of the increasingly convoluted “tiers of scrutiny” the federal courts have adopted. Under this standard, a law's constitutionality often boils down to “if, in the judge's view, the law is sufficiently reasonable or important.” United States v. Rahimi, 602 U.S. 680, 731 (2024) (Kavanaugh, J., concurring). Yet that “kind of balancing approach to constitutional interpretation” is inconsistent with “what judges as umpires should strive to do.” Id. (Kavanaugh, J., concurring).  Fortunately, “the Arizona Constitution provides broader protections for free speech than the First Amendment.” Brush & Nib Studios, LC v. Phoenix, 247 Ariz. 269, 281 (Ariz. 2019). Those protections do not depend on courts weighing the value of amorphous governmental interests. Rather, Arizona's Constitution guarantees that “[e]very person may freely speak, write, and publish on all subjects.” Ariz. Const. art. II, § 6. And this Court has taken a “more literal application” of that language, mandating that courts “avoid, where possible, attempts to erode [these rights] by balancing them against . . . governmental interests,” Mountain States Tel. & Tel. Co. v. Ariz. Corp. Comm'n, 160 Ariz. 350, 357 (Ariz. 1989).  That means laws like Proposition 211 do not live or die based on the freewheeling balancing that tests like “exacting scrutiny” rely on. If the law burdens the right to speak freely, it violates the Arizona Constitution unless the state can show it prevents abuse. See Plaintiffs' Supp. Br. at 5–6. And since no one disputes that Proposition 211's expansive disclosure rules deter protected speech, and no one argues that it targets abusive speech, it cannot survive scrutiny.  Statement of the issues [from the Arizona Supreme Court docket listing]: Is the Voters' Right to Know Act facially unconstitutional under the Ariz. Constitution? If not, did the court of appeals properly dismiss Plaintiffs-Appellants' as-applied challenge?Resources: Proposition 211 Language Institute for Free Speech Amicus Brief Institute for Free Speech Press Release The Institute for Free Speech promotes and defends the political speech rights to freely speak, assemble, publish, and petition the government guaranteed by the First Amendment.

Donor conversations aren't always smooth - especially when political or social issues enter the mix. In this podcast, Randall Hallett unpacks how fundraisers can navigate divisive topics with civility, professionalism, and focus on shared values. He stresses the importance of staying agnostic, listening first, and reframing discussions around mission and impact rather than ideology. With practical communication strategies and a reminder that philanthropy is about hope and connection, Randall shows how to keep relationships strong, even when opinions differ.

In this episode of The Responsive Lab, co-hosts Carly Berna and Scott Holthaus sit down with Stephen Boudreau and Erik Tomalis from Avid to explore how fundraisers can actually use their data to drive meaningful action. From demystifying AI to scaling human relationships with technology, this conversation dives into the real challenges facing fundraisers today and how teams can stop drowning in spreadsheets and start making decisions with confidence. Erik shares lessons from 5,000+ donor visits and how tech can enable deeper generosity, while Stephen explains why the best fundraising teams are shifting from being data hoarders to decision-makers. Plus, they introduce Avid, a new fundraising operating system that helps nonprofits aggregate data, visualize insights, identify audiences, and deploy campaigns, all without replacing your existing tools.

Donor portfolios often feel like a mystery—part science, part art—and this episode of Fundraisers Friday peels back the curtain on what they really mean for nonprofit professionals. Cohosts Julia Patrick and Tony Beall use their signature mix of storytelling and strategy to break down the “book of business” in a way that feels both practical and inspiring.Julia opens with candor about her first experience: “Somebody called me up and said, hey, I'd like to take you out to lunch because you're in my portfolio. And I was like, what?” That moment of confusion and discomfort becomes the jumping-off point for a discussion that many fundraisers will instantly recognize: donors rarely know about these tools, yet they shape so much of the relationship-building process.Tony points to the importance of seeing portfolios not as sterile lists but as vital instruments of stewardship and organizational learning. “These types of portfolios and this technology also allow us to monitor activity—not as a watchdog, but as a way to gauge the success of our strategies.” He reframes portfolios from something “icky” into something essential: a roadmap for deeper donor care.The duo walk through the practical side—averages for donor counts, segmentation across major gifts, planned giving, and annual donors—while weaving in human moments that give the conversation heart. Julia reflects on board experiences where donor binders were passed around over pizza, and Tony shares how his father's fire boots by the front door modeled volunteerism that still fuels his passion today.Data hygiene becomes another teaching moment. Julia compares sloppy data entry to “middle school health class,” driving home the reality that a CRM is only as good as what you put in it. Tony adds nuance by showing how even small details like recording gift frequency—not just dollar amounts—can shape how nonprofits honor commitment and longevity.The most surprising segment is the discussion of “portfolio divorce.” Sometimes a fundraiser and donor simply don't align—politically, personally, or stylistically—and it's healthier for the mission to transition that relationship elsewhere. Tony reminds us that “the mission is more important than your ego,” a guiding principle every nonprofit professional can keep close.Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

It's back-to-school season, which means development teams are mapping out their fundraising calendars—and facing the same ol' dilemma. Do you throw a glitzy gala for 500 people, or host intimate wine tastings in board members' living rooms? Big events look impressive on paper (and in those Instagram posts). But, here's what most organizations don't calculate: the hidden costs of staff burnout, volunteer fatigue, and months of planning that could be spent actually building relationships with donors. Andrew makes a compelling case for why he's ditching the ballroom for the living room. Spoiler alert: It's not just about saving money—it's about creating genuine connections that turn one-time attendees into lifelong supporters.

In today's episode, we're focusing on the topic of state advocacy, specifically exploring the vital role that nonprofits play in shaping policy and driving change at the state level, and how that role is increasingly coming under attack. We will discuss some of the landscape nonprofits are currently facing at the state level and provide actionable tips for organizations looking to amplify their impact. And we'll be sharing information about exciting new state resources that are in progress at Bolder Advocacy! Attorneys for this Episode Brittany Hacker Maggie Ellinger-Locke Sarah Efthymiou   The Importance of State-Level Advocacy:  ·      State policies have as much, if not more, impact on local communities, than federal policies ·      State-level advocacy can lead to significant changes in policies around funding, regulations, and services ·      What are some benefits of state-level advocacy by and for nonprofits? o   Can help strengthen community ties and build relationships with policymakers o   Can enhance the visibility and credibility of the organization o   Can help mobilize supporters and volunteers around key issues o   These policy advocacy opportunities really allow nonprofit organizations to engage in some of the nuts and bolts of movement building.   Protecting Against State Legislative Attacks on Nonprofits: ·      "Laboratories of democracy,” a1932 opinion by Justice Louis Brandeis. ·      That vision still holds, states can test bold reforms especially when federal progress stalls. ·      But some state legislatures are taking aim at civil society. ·      Today we're spotlighting four troubling trends: donor disclosure laws, “baby FARA” bills, charitable fundraising restrictions, and anti-DEI legislation. o   Donor disclosure laws are framed as transparency measures—and in some contexts, transparency matters. We support campaign finance disclosure, where voters have a right to know who's funding elections. But these bills chill speech and participation. Donor privacy protects safety, not secrecy. o   Baby FARA bills have been introduced in 19 states and enacted in a few. These laws cast suspicion on global philanthropy and research partnerships, even when no government is involved. And it's worth noting that the original FARA was passed in the 1930s to curb Nazi propaganda. Today, its logic is being flipped and weaponized against anti-fascists and transnational justice efforts. o   Charitable fundraising restrictions limit who nonprofits can fundraise from. These are written so broadly they sweep in international aid, scientific collaboration, and humanitarian partnerships. These restrictions are framed as national security—but they risk cutting off essential support for nonprofits doing global work. o   Anti-DEI laws have been introduced or passed in more than 30 states, targeting diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, especially in public universities and government agencies. These billsreflects a broader effort to delegitimize inclusive values and restrict the space for nonprofits to advance justice. ·      Federal politics dominate the headlines. But the real action is in the states. These policies shape what's possible for your work every day.   Offensive State Advocacy ·      Funding at the State and Local level: Advocate for nonprofit funding from state and local budgets. Fund nonprofits and research that may have been cut at the federal level o      Advocating for this funding in budgets will count as lobbying ·      Lobby for protections greater than the federal level: lobby for legislation to protect interests that the federal government has attempted to limit through executive order or supreme court cases o      Trans health care access for youth—SCOTUS allowed Tennessee to ban trans youth health care, but the Court did not ban trans youth healthcare nationally—states with progressive legislatures can enact protections for trans healthcare and can make themselves shield states to ensure that their providers are protected and can widely provide care. §  We have seen similar action happen succssfully with regard to abortion and same sex marriage o      Environmental protections—CA has requirements that exceed those that the federal government previously had o      Consider ballot measures! State by state measures have been effective in the abortion context and bring the decision directly to voters.   Advocacy Rules for 501(c)(3) Organizations: Under the federal IRS tax rules, 501(c)(3) public charities can engage in policy level at the state level, including lobbying. However, it is important to be aware potential limitations. ·       501(c)(3)s cannot engage in partisan political activities. ·       Public charities can lobby but are subject to limitations.   Unlike the federal system, state lobbying laws vary widely. Knowing where and when you need to register and report is essential to doing this work effectively, and legally.   There are three core questions to ask: 1.     Do I need to register? 2.     When is registration required? 3.     What does registration and reporting actually involve?   ·      State lobbying definitions vary widely. Some states are strict—you might need to register just for liking a policymaker's tweet. Others are more flexible and only require registration after you cross a threshold, like a certain number of contacts or hours worked. ·      If registration is required, what does that process look like? Some states charge a fee, others require ethics training, and most require paperwork. A few even ask for a headshot. ·      Some states require monthly or quarterly reports. Others, like Illinois, require reports every two weeks. Failing to file on time can lead to late fees, public scrutiny, or even criminal penalties in cases of willful noncompliance. ·      State rules differ dramatically, and you need to know the rules where you work. Luckily, Bolder Advocacy has your back. Our 50-state guide series—including DC and Puerto Rico—breaks it all down so you don't have to guess. ·      At Bolder Advocacy, we're here to help you lean into your power while staying in compliance. But too often, we see groups pull back out of fear—not because the law actually prevents them from acting, but because they worry about what might happen.   Conclusion   In all of this, we should remember that nonprofits are deeply rooted in community. We understand the issues. We see the harm. That gives us the insight and credibility to push for lasting change especially at our state and local levels   When you organize a lobby day and bring constituents face to face with lawmakers, or when you send an email urging your network to act on a bill, you're shaping policy. You're lifting voices. You're fueling movements. And even if a bill doesn't pass this year, your advocacy still matters. You're building relationships, expanding your network, and making your cause more visible. Because while protests and litigation have their place, it's this steady, strategic policy work that builds lasting power. Even in times when federal progress is limited. And that's what advocacy is all about!   Resources Being a Player: A Guide to the IRS Lobbying Regulations for Advocacy Charities Practical Guidance Series: Lobbying  Practical Guidance Series: Nonprofit Voter Assistance

We're sharing ways we've shown gratitude to people who show up for your mission with time, talent, advocacy, and yes, dollars too. We challenge the traditional approach of stewarding people based solely on gift amounts and explore who really deserves your high-touch attention (spoiler: it's not just your $1,000+ donors).1. Volunteers Are Major Donors in DisguiseYour regular volunteers are often contributing the equivalent of $15,000-$60,000 in staff time, yet most organizations don't steward them like major donors. That volunteer who designed your website for free? That's a $15,000 gift that deserves the same recognition as a financial contribution of that size.2. Monthly Donors Deserve VIP TreatmentEven a $5 monthly donor should be in your major giving category. These supporters show incredible commitment and loyalty, and research shows they're likely to increase their giving over time. Plus, they're your best candidates for additional campaign gifts and planned giving opportunities.3. Your Staff Are Subsidizing Your MissionEvery nonprofit staff member is essentially making a $20,000-$30,000 gift by accepting below-market wages. During the current hiring and retention crisis, treating staff with the same stewardship approach you'd use for major donors isn't just nice. It's smart business.4. Longevity Matters More Than Single-Year GivingA donor who's given $100 for five consecutive years is more valuable than someone who gave $500 once. Length of relationship and consistency of support are stronger indicators of future giving potential than one-time gift amounts.5. Meaningful Stewardship Is About Connection, Not CostThe most impactful stewardship often costs very little. A quick, personal email sharing a story you just heard can be more meaningful than an expensive branded gift. Authenticity trumps fancy materials every time.Resources and Linkso   Connect with our host, Maria Rioo   Connect with our cohost, Caitlin McBrideo   Support our show.

Summary:What if every donor interaction was treated like a golden opportunity? In this episode, Clark builds on the themes from Episode 187 ("Surprise and Delight") to dig deeper into what it really takes to create a culture of excellence in donor stewardship.Drawing from his time working at FedEx—and their legendary commitment to quality service—Clark unpacks how great organizations don't just occasionally go above and beyond. They do the basics well every single time, and then look for small ways to deliver consistent, meaningful moments of surprise, delight, and trust.You'll hear real stories from FedEx, reflections on company culture, and how the same principles apply directly to your fundraising. If you want donors to give joyfully—and give more—you've got to treat each one like they matter… because they do.Key Topics Covered:The “Purple Promise” and what fundraisers can learn from FedExWhy wow moments matter—but only after you've built trust through consistencyThe power of mindset: how internal culture shapes external serviceWhat FedEx's “Golden Package” teaches us about donor stewardshipA Super Bowl story that shows how far a great organization will go to serveHow to build a system of small, daily wows for your donorsWhy culture—not rules—is what drives long-term success in donor careHow to create happy donors ready to make big, audacious giftsWhy gratitude, consistency, and excellence go hand-in-handFeatured Quote:“You can't overcome many missteps with one great act of service.

Today I chat with Chris, a registered nurse and midwife who has been working with Australian Red Cross Lifeblood's milk program for eight years. Chris takes us through the fascinating world of donor breast milk - from the rigorous screening process for donors to how this precious resource supports the tiniest and most vulnerable babies in neonatal intensive care units across Australia. Whether you're curious about donating your excess breast milk or want to understand how donor milk could support your premature baby, this conversation is packed with essential information that every parent, midwife, and doula should know. Sponsor: I rarely talk about supplements on here - mostly because so many aren't backed by real evidence, and as someone who's always reading the fine print, I'm pretty selective about what I'll share with you. But every now and then, something stands out. Mother Dose by Land Lab is one of those rare finds that cuts through all the confusion. What has really impressed me is that it's been formulated by doctors, dietitians, and naturopaths - every single ingredient is there for a reason, backed by evidence and aligned with current prenatal guidelines. It includes the good stuff like choline for baby's brain development, folate in its most active form, and a clinical dosage of ginger that's actually proven to help with morning sickness. Over 50 health professionals have peer-reviewed the formulation, and they all said the same thing - it's an amazing blend that delivers the kind of care every woman deserves. And here's what I love even more - through their charity arm, they provide completely free prenatals to women with an Australian healthcare card. Whether you're pregnant, trying to conceive, Mother Dose takes the overwhelm out of choosing a prenatal. Check out Mother Dose at Land Lab - thoughtfully dosed, high quality prenatal care when you need it most.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chuck Todd dives into the shifting political and cultural landscape—from Trump's transformation of the information ecosystem and the  “civics lesson” his presidency has provided to the American public.  He weighs in on the administration's use of militarized “law and order” tactics and Trump's constant economic brinkmanship. The conversation ranges from Trump's similarities to Turkey's president Erdogan and his clashes with the Fed.. Chuck also introduces the new “ToddCast Top 5,” spotlighting rising Democratic contenders for 2028—from Gavin Newsom's leadership and Ruben Gallego's surge, to James Talarico's Buttigieg-style buzz and the ongoing question of when Bernie Sanders will pass the torch to AOC. Then, former Republican operative turned Harris campaign strategist Maria Comella joins Chuck to deliver a brutal post-mortem on Democratic failures and to reflect on her unique career path across the political spectrum. From her early days in Republican politics to the inner workings of the Harris campaign, Comella offers candid insights on what it takes to run for office in an era defined by partisanship, shifting voter coalitions, and struggling party identities. She shares stories about Christie's sharp self-awareness, Giuliani's early years, and the challenges Harris faced in balancing her legal background with her political ambitions.Together, Chuck and Maria dive into the pitfalls of Democratic messaging in the Trump era, why Harris couldn't connect with Republican voters, and how Biden and Harris miscalculated their approach to the left. They also explore the rise of outsider candidates like Sanders and Trump, the failure of movements like “No Labels,” and whether a third party—or even a unifying military figure—could ever gain traction. With upcoming races in New Jersey and New York on the horizon, Comella weighs in on the donor class panic over Mamdani, Cuomo's uncertain future, and what it will take for either party to break through with an electorate hungry for reform.Finally, he answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment. Timeline:(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)00:00 Introduction01:15 Miami vs Notre Dame rivalry04:30 Trump has changed the information ecosystem and expectations05:30 Trump is giving the public a long overdue civics lesson06:30 Turkey & Erdogan are the model for Trump08:15 Trump backs off when the market reacts negatively09:30 Trump's firing of member of Fed board of governors heads to court11:30 If the economy was booming, the Fed wouldn't cut interest rates13:30 Administration will ramp up “law and order” tactics in blue cities14:45 National guard deployment is more about optics than crime15:45 The issue of crime in cities divides the Democratic party17:30 Trump is creating different standards between red and blue states18:45 Politicizing the economy will only go badly19:45 Trump will own the bad economy20:30 Trump inserts himself into the Roger Clemons Hall of Fame debate21:30 Trump sides with people who are caught cheating23:45 Clemons belongs in the Hall of Fame25:45 Will someone drop out of the NYC Mayoral race to stop Mamdani?27:30 The rise of, and reaction to Mamdani is similar to rise of Trump29:15 Howard University president resigns… hire Kamala Harris?31:00 Introducing the “ToddCast Top 5”31:30 Which Democrat has had the best 2025 to position presidential run?32:15 Gavin Newsom has become the leader of the Democratic party33:45 If Newsom loses referendum it will be a huge blow to his prospects34:30 Ruben Gallego has greatly increased his standing35:30 3 archetypes of Democratic presidential candidates37:45 James Talarico buzz reminiscent of Pete Buttigieg in 201740:00 Andy Beshear & Wes Moore have made waves41:30 Bernie Sanders hasn't officially passed the torch to AOC44:00 The Democratic base wants a fighter, the middle wants a uniter46:00 Maria Comella joins the Chuck Toddcast 48:00 Maria's origin story 52:30 Difficulty running for state/local offices after being in unpopular congress 53:30 Experience of working for Rudy Guiliani 57:15 Moving from Republican politics to the Harris campaign 58:15 Do Cuomo, Giuliani and Christie have much in common? 59:15 All three are voracious readers 1:00:15 Chris Christie was the most self-aware of the three 1:01:30 Christie was mad at Chuck over Meet the Press interview 1:04:00 Did you have a seat at the table with the Harris campaign? 1:05:45 Kamala Harris tried to be everything to everyone 1:07:30 Harris seemed like a more natural fit in law than in politics 1:08:15 Harris had ideological identity issues 1:09:45 Why Harris didn't appear on Joe Rogan's podcast 1:10:45 Harris for Republicans vs. Republicans for Harris 1:11:30 Biden & Harris didn't know how to talk to Republican voters 1:13:00 Liz Cheney wasn't effective as a surrogate 1:15:00 Biden & Harris were afraid to go after the left 1:16:15 Harris campaign said she'd be different, but didn't show it 1:17:30 Harris's appearance on The View symbolized her loss 1:19:15 Harris had nearly a difficult, but not impossible task 1:20:30 Harris didn't need to campaign with never Trump Republicans 1:22:00 Harris was too late with her closing argument message 1:23:30 Dukakis's closing message was just an airing of grievances 1:24:45 Harris's closing message didn't meet voters where they were 1:26:00 Democratic messaging has been dumb and lazy in Trump era 1:27:30 Obama was the last candidate the public voted "for" 1:28:45 Rise of Sanders and Trump show how weak the parties are 1:29:15 Is there room for a third party? 1:30:45 Why the "No Labels" party fell flat 1:33:30 Could a less partisan military leader bring the country together? 1:35:15 The system was built to force compromise rather than win/lose 1:37:00 Voters want a reformer/change, Harris didn't offer that 1:39:30 The GOP "establishment" let problems fester and ended up with Trump 1:41:30 Rand Paul & Josh Hawley have stayed true to themselves 1:43:15 Imitating Trump doesn't ever work for GOP candidates 1:45:30 Who on the Democratic side could break through with GOP voters? 1:47:30 The "Stop Mamdani" movement can't coalesce around one candidate 1:49:00 Donor class panicking they can't stop Mamdani 1:50:15 Schumer & Jeffries failed to find good NYC mayor candidate 1:52:30 What will Cuomo do?

In this conversation, Latasha Morrison and Rev. Dr. Malcolm Foley dive into the true meaning of the gospel and the impact of economic exploitation on society. They discuss the vision behind Mosaic Waco, the intentionally multicultural church Malcolm co-pastors, and his book The Anti-Greed Gospel: Why the Love of Money is the Root of Racism and How the Church Can Create a New Way Forward. Malcolm and Latasha explore the deep-rooted issues of greed, violence, and racial injustice in society. They discuss the historical context of lynching and its economic implications. They also address the dangers of Christian nationalism and the seductive nature of power and wealth.

What if doing good, and business isn't in opposition? Ethical fundraising, value-driven sales, and authentic relationships can thrive in the powerful space created by the intersection of doing good and business. In this episode, we explain how viewing money as a tool rather than a corrupting force aligns with purpose-led work. From rethinking donor fatigue to the value of storytelling, this episode challenges the recurrent assumptions about what it really means to ask, give, and grow. Whether you are a nonprofit leader or a goal-oriented entrepreneur, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on how to lead with value while still achieving growth.  Tamara Jackson is a consultant, advisor, investor, and the founder of Beaconship and LeadReviver™, an advisory and consultancy service. As a former banking executive turned purpose-driven entrepreneur, Tamara brings over 25 years of corporate experience and a lifelong passion for giving back. Through volunteering, philanthropy, and value-aligned business, she used her skills to advance causes she cares about. Her love to operate at the intersection between doing good and doing business is to show that both can be done at the same time. She joined us today to talk about how aligning purpose with profit allows fundraising and sales to become an act of service instead of a transaction.  In this episode, you will be able to:  - Learn how to attract donations by creating values. - Learn about donor motivations and relationship building. - Discover the difference between persuasion sales vs. service-oriented sales. - Learn how to honor silence as a part of the decision-making process.  - Discover how to write with intentionality and clarity.  Get all the resources from today's episode here.  Support for this show is brought to you by iDonate!  Their donor-first giving suite, including mobile pop-ups, A/B testing, recurring prompts, makes it easy to convert more donors, faster.

In today's nonprofit world, the difference between financial stability and constant budget anxiety often comes down to one deceptively simple practice: donor stewardship. While many organizations focus their energy on acquiring new supporters, the real growth engine lies in keeping the ones they already have. That's the message fundraising consultant Katherine Lacefield, founder of Just Because Consulting, shared on a recent episode of the Nonprofit MBA Podcast. With a background advising nonprofits across the globe, she's seen the same pattern again and again: groups that cultivate deep, consistent relationships with their donors—not just during campaigns, but year-round—are the ones that thrive. And surprisingly, she says, building those relationships doesn't require full-time effort. With the right approach, even one hour a week can make a measurable difference.

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and RCP White House correspondent Phil Wegmann discuss reactions to yesterday's White House meeting between Trump, Zelenskyy and European leaders, and they discuss Trump's announcement that he would sign an executive order in an effort to end mail-in voting. They also talk about MSNBC's rebranding as MSNOW, and California governor Gavin Newsom's new social media strategy built on parodying Trump's signature Truth Social posts. Next, Tom talks to RCP Senior Elections Analyst Sean Trende about the changing nature of politics in Pennsylvania, and why the state will remain central to national politics for the foreseeable future. And lastly, Andrew talks to Peter Lipsett, vice president of Donor's Trust about his summer podcast series “What is the Right,” which is running as part of the Giving Ventures Podcast. They discuss the division within the conservative movement between “Natcons" and “Freecons”; and the future of the conservative movement after Trump leaves office.

Feeling stuck between fundraising approaches? Break down the silos!I've seen the fundraising divide firsthand—and I believe there's a better way. I call it human-centered fundraising.I recently heard a longtime donor say, “I'm tired of being just a checkbook. I want to be part of something bigger.” I've felt that tension, too.Donor fatigue is real—but connection changes everything.Let's stop choosing sides and start building bridges.Want to learn how human-centered fundraising could transform your mission?Tune in to this episode and share it with a colleague who's ready to reimagine fundraising for greater impact.Resources: Show notes, links, and resources mentioned in this episode.Review my show: Please review my show.

091. Neesha is on to share her pregnancy story at 44, using donor eggs. She is originally from the Caribbean, but lives with her husband and daughter in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada . She married her husband when she was just 29 and wanted to enjoy each other before starting a family. At 33, she started thinking about having a baby. At 35, nothing was happening, so we wanted to see a doctor. Her husbands test results came back fine, so the doctor told her coldly, it was obviously her. A year later, while studying in the USA, Neesha was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis with a 10% chance of conceiving naturally. Later, no cycle for an entire year: post menopausal.

Tim Sanders, the Founder and CEO of Silent Donor, has carved a unique path in the world of philanthropy through his extensive experiences in international development, nonprofit management, and innovation consulting. His journey began overseas, where he witnessed the complexities of charitable giving in various cultural contexts. This exposure ignited his passion for philanthropy and highlighted the need for privacy in donations, particularly for those who wish to contribute without the accompanying solicitations that often follow public gifts. Recognizing a significant gap in the market for anonymous giving solutions, Tim launched Silent Donor, the largest anonymous donation platform on the internet. This innovative platform allows donors to make tax-deductible contributions to a wide range of charities and nonprofits while maintaining their privacy. By establishing charitable funds in both the United States and Europe, Silent Donor has empowered thousands of donors from over 30 countries to send millions of dollars to organizations they care about, all without revealing their identities. If you're looking to support a cause you believe in without compromising your personal information, visit Silent Donor today. The platform makes it quick and easy to donate to any charity, nonprofit, or crowdfunding campaign of your choice, ensuring that your generosity remains confidential. Join the movement towards privacy-conscious philanthropy and make a difference without the hassle of unwanted follow-up communications!

These conversations took place at our Juneteenth Crawl this year. The first part is an interview with Rev. Dr. Tony Sundermeier and Rev. Dr. Katie Sundermeier of First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta sharing how their church is involved in justice work. Then, Dr. Debbie Stevens, a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, shares about the integral work of mental health especially for the BIPOC community. We hope these conversations remind you that there is hope and there is help! Even now, there is justice work happening in local contexts all around.

Online giving isn't just the future of fundraising—it's the now! Emily Kelly, National Accounts Manager at Bloomerang, delivers a practical, energizing roadmap for nonprofits to raise more money online—without adding more stress to already full plates.This conversation is for any nonprofit ready to increase online giving, improve donor retention, and strengthen relationships in a digital-first world. Emily blends practical “fix it today” steps with a bigger vision for creating donor experiences that inspire giving, year after year.Emily's passion for relationship-building is woven through every tactic she shares. With a background in marriage and family therapy, she sees fundraising not as transactions, but as an opportunity for deeper human connection. “The power of please and thank you is so much more powerful than anything else,” she begins—a reminder that technology should serve relationships, not replace them.Her first piece of advice is deceptively simple: make sure your donate button works. Too often, organizations overlook this basic step. Then, view your donation page through the eyes of a first-time visitor—would you feel compelled to give? Is it clear, inviting, and emotionally engaging? Placement matters too. The donate button should be easy to spot, ideally at the top of your page, without forcing visitors to search for it.Emily urges nonprofits to offer multiple payment options—credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, ACH, and even Venmo—to meet donors where they are. Each generation prefers different tools and limiting payment methods risks losing potential gifts.She also challenges organizations to reimagine the donor experience for online gifts. Segmentation is key—tailoring acknowledgments by gift size, donor type, or relationship history. A generic thank-you isn't enough; donors want to feel seen and valued. Communication preference tracking—whether donors prefer email, phone, text, or snail mail—helps build authentic connections and increase retention.And yes, the old-fashioned phone call is making a comeback. Emily shares research showing that calling a first-time donor within 24–48 hours makes them four times more likely to give again. Whether done by staff, volunteers, or board members, these calls create goodwill on both sides—reigniting board member engagement while deepening donor trust.Emily's philosophy is clear: treat every gift, whether $50 or $50,000, as the start of a relationship. One-time gifts can become long-term commitments—or even legacy gifts—when nonprofits follow up with gratitude, intentionality, and consistent communication.Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Organ transplants save lives, but rushing into them could harm donors nearing the end of their own lives. Brian M. Rosenthal, investigative reporter at The New York Times, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss how some donors, thought to be deceased, have shown signs of life just before vital organ harvesting, why one particular harvesting method could be part of the problem, and how government regulation might up the risks.
