What if the desire to become a parent is strong, but the partner hasn't shown up?In this episode, I'm talking with Viveka, a school psychologist who has spent her career supporting kids and families—and who's now navigating her own path to solo motherhood.Viveka started out as a preschool special education teacher, is certified as a yoga instructor and nature therapy guide, and brings a deeply grounded, global perspective to everything she does. She's biracial, trilingual, a former Indian classical dancer, and one of those people who's just naturally good with children. When Viveka found herself single in her late thirties and experiencing dating burnout, she decided it was time to freeze her eggs. But once she took a step into this world, she realized that she could be that woman who decides to pursue solo motherhood.Now over a year into her process of becoming a single mother by choice, Viveka shares what it's looked like to shift her priorities, explore known donor conception through Seed Scout, and start the process of trying to conceive—without waiting for a partner.This conversation is about so much more than logistics. It's about identity, intuition, culture, and what happens when you finally give yourself permission to want what you want.In this episode about choosing solo parenthood, we talk about:The early stages of becoming a solo mom by choice;Experiencing dating burnout;Choosing solo motherhood when you find yourself single in your 30s or 40s;Cultural considerations and family conversations;Using Seed Scout to find a known sperm donor;Navigating fertility clinics, timing, and IUI with a known donor;Balancing career, future dreams, and the realities of single parenting;And more.Connect with Viveka on instagram: Solo Mama To Be (@soloparentonpurpose)

What if everything we know about building donor relationships is backward? In this episode, we flip the script—looking at fundraising not from the fundraiser's lens, but from the donor's experience. From curiosity to trust to continuity, we explore the eight emotional stages a donor navigates before and after making a gift. When you understand how donors feel at every step, you unlock deeper relationships, better communication—and better results. It's not about what we want to say; it's about what they need to hear.

Send us a textFundraising is at a crossroads. Donor trust is eroding, retention rates are plummeting, and yet, charities continue to rely on the same high-volume, bottom-of-the-funnel tactics—more asks, more urgency, more chasing. But what if the solution isn't asking more, but becoming something donors want to say yes to?On today's episode, we listen in to a recorded session from the Build Good Summit where we explored why trust is the most valuable (and perhaps only) asset fundraisers have left. We'll introduce the fundraising flywheel, a model designed to build momentum by prioritizing donor autonomy, competence, and connection. Unlike the funnel, which treats giving as a linear transaction, the flywheel fosters long-term engagement and sustainable growth.Through case studies and practical examples, you'll learn how to move beyond relentless solicitation and toward a trust-based approach that treats donors like an important part of the team, with a meaningful role to play. Because fundraising isn't about forcing generosity—it's about earning it.—⛰️ Don't miss out on the next BuildGood Summit!

In this episode of the Whole Whale podcast, host George Weiner speaks with Sal Alpietro, Chief Community Officer at Fundraise Up, about a critical issue affecting nonprofits: the ownership and transfer of payment tokens for monthly donors. Sal shares alarming stories of nonprofits facing exorbitant fees and resistance when trying to move donor data between platforms. They discuss the importance of asking the right questions before signing contracts with donation platforms and the potential financial and operational risks of not doing so. Sal also shares advice on best practices and offers insights into recent developments at Fundraise Up. -- If your nonprofit does not own the payments portal account (IE Stripe, Braintree, Paypal) and it has monthly donors, then it may not actually “own” those donors. While standard donation platform contracts allow for donor contact information to be exported, they may not allow the Donor Payment Tokens that allow for ongoing monthly donations to be exported. This means your nonprofit would lose the ability to continue to charge monthly donations from donors that had opted-in to donate if you moved platforms. Donation platforms range from small to huge fees to export this data, while some block this ability all together. Here is a great LinkedIn explanation of this Here is information going back to 2018 from the Agitator calling out this monthly donor lockup issue.   “I have seen nonprofits literally in tears when they were told they needed to payup $30k to get permission to migrate their monthly donorbase built over years.”  Salvatore Salpietro, Chief Community Officer, Fundraise Up     Full article on the Monthly Donor lockup problem.

Ever felt like your donor relationships are turning into guilt trips?After nearly 30 years in major gifts, I've seen how easy it is for the line between professionalism and friendship to blur.One story still sticks with me: a fundraiser got so close to a donor, she couldn't bring herself to ask for support. The result? The mission lost out.Here's the truth: 70% of donors say their relationship with the fundraiser influences their giving decisions. But when things get too personal, it can lead to guilt, hesitation, and even burnout. I've been there—and I know many of you have, too.So, where should we draw the line? How do we build trust and connection—without sacrificing our mission or our own well-being?If you've ever wrestled with these questions, you're not alone. I just dropped a new episode of The Intentional Fundraiser podcast diving deep into this very topic. I share real stories, practical strategies, and tools you can use to keep your donor relationships professional and impactful.Curious how to protect your role, your donors, and your organization—without losing your heart?Listen to the latest episode and share it with your team.

If you've ever wondered whether your nonprofit fundraising data is a treasure chest or a digital junk drawer, Greg Warner is here with a flashlight, a map, and a pickaxe. In this entertaining conversation, Greg—CEO of MarketSmart and creator of the Fundraising Report Card—joins host Julia Patrick to dissect the murky waters of metrics and help nonprofits move from guesswork to grounded strategy.Greg kicks off with the backstory: MarketSmart's 17-year evolution into a marketing automation firm helping nonprofits identify, qualify, and steward major and legacy donors. ‘The Fundraising Report Card', born from this journey, now offers nonprofits a simplified yet powerful lens into donor behavior—showing not just what happened, but what it means.Here's the twist: until now, this tool has been free. But with over 27,000 users and a mountain of benchmark data, Greg's team is rolling out a more robust version—with peer comparisons so relevant, they make national averages look like vague horoscopes.And it's about time. “Relevance creates resonance,” Greg shares, “But irrelevant data creates dissonance.” Nonprofits have long been running on emotional narratives and gut instincts. Greg invites you to reframe the conversation using donor lifetime value, retention data, and institutional memory—all quantified, all visual.Julia comments how too many development pros spend two days prepping board reports for seven minutes of attention. Greg's fix? Collaborative tools baked into the new version of the app, enabling real-time, cross-functional dialogue. Because why silo data when you can democratize it?Want to stop flying blind and start mining gold?

In this episode of The First Day from The Fundraising School, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D. sits down with philanthropic power couple Linn and Byron Braun, who offer a refreshing and candid look into the donor's mind. From third-grade campaign trail adventures to launching garden programs and anti-child abuse foundations, the Brauns' journey is a masterclass in giving with heart. They walk us through how their charitable spirit evolved, from separate individual passions to a shared mission of supporting a curated list of 10–12 nonprofits with intention and joy. Their golden rule? “Don't let your giving list get diluted, know your causes, and know them well.” Fundraisers, take notes: the Brauns emphasize the importance of doing your homework. When couples have distinct philanthropic interests, fundraisers need to pinpoint whose passion aligns with their mission. It's not just about knowing the organization's pitch, it's about building a relationship with the right person, be it Linn's green thumb at the YMCA or Byron's devotion to his church. They also advise fundraisers to understand when to back off, being bombarded with daily asks as business owners, they appreciate a respectful “our plate is full” response when it's truly not a fit. Flexibility and genuine connection are the real MVPs in major gifts fundraising, as shown through the Brauns' experience with Humane Fort Wayne. It took two years of relationship-building for the nonprofit to truly understand the Brauns' philanthropic heartbeat and co-create a niche initiative. What won them over? A stellar director, customized opportunities to support causes they care about, and authentic, consistent engagement, beyond the ask. “We don't want a lunch,” Byron jokes, “just a personal touch, maybe even a phone call.” The Brauns wrap up with sage advice on what not to do: don't pawn major donors off to assistants, don't ignore follow-up, and for heaven's sake, don't forget the personal connection. They stress that effective stewardship involves more than a thank-you email, it's about being seen, heard, and valued. As proactive donors, they often approach organizations themselves, but they're quick to note that meaningful engagement and tailored communication can turn a casual supporter into a lifelong benefactor. For fundraisers eyeing the big gifts, this episode is pure philanthropic gold.

Senator Josh Hawley: Chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism, leading the investigation. Organizations Named: Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA) Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) Unión del Barrio Main Points: Senator Hawley has launched a formal investigation into who is allegedly funding and organizing the riots. Letters have been sent to multiple organizations demanding: Financial records Donor lists Internal communications (emails, texts, chat logs) Travel and lodging records Media and PR strategies Allegations suggest these groups may have provided logistical and financial support to escalate protests into riots. Hawley asserts that such support constitutes criminal conduct, not protected speech. Media Commentary: The document includes a transcript of Senator Hawley’s appearance on Fox News with Jesse Watters. He claims the riots are orchestrated and funded, not spontaneous. He criticizes the Democratic Party, suggesting they are aligned with or supportive of the unrest. He proposes harsher penalties for crimes committed during protests, especially those involving the American flag. Presidential Response: Former President Donald Trump is quoted addressing the situation: Defends the deployment of National Guard and Marines. Threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act if unrest spreads.

“Cybersecurity used to be the Department of ‘No'. Today, it's about enablement—how we help people work securely without getting in the way.”Cybersecurity isn't just an IT issue—it's a trust issue. Michael Nouguier, Partner at Richey May's Cybersecurity Services, joins us to discuss how nonprofits can better protect donor data, assess third-party platforms, and prepare for the inevitable breach.Michael opens with a striking truth: “Cybersecurity is about risk—what we choose to accept, and what we work to prevent.” From this lens, this episode offers a detailed breakdown of today's most pressing cybersecurity concerns, especially as they relate to data collection, donor privacy, and evolving threats like AI-driven attacks.The conversation kicks off with the importance of identifying and documenting what data your organization actually collects—not just donor information, but client data, health records, payment details, and beyond. Michael stresses the danger of overlooking third-party vendors, who may have weak security protocols but still process sensitive data on your behalf.Julia Patrick, host, presses Michael on how access control works in today's remote-first world. His response is practical: build systems around role-based access and restrict data visibility by “need to know.” Whether you're a 5-person nonprofit or a national organization, overly broad permissions are a recipe for disaster.Michael shares real-world examples of organizations undermining their own security—like contractors blocking ChatGPT integrations due to risk, prompting staff to email data to themselves for off-system use. It's not just about locking systems down—it's about enabling safer, smarter workflows that employees will actually use.The episode wraps-up with a powerful call for scenario planning. Just like fire drills, “tabletop exercises” around cybersecurity incidents can build organizational muscle memory, reduce financial loss, and preserve your nonprofit's reputation when—not if—a breach occurs.If you think this topic is too technical to matter to your mission, think again. This conversation makes clear: cybersecurity is mission-critical because your donors expect trust, your clients deserve privacy, and your organization can't afford the fallout of avoidable mistakes. 00:00:00 Welcome and introduction to Michael Nouguier 00:02:06 Why Richey May expanded into cybersecurity 00:04:11 What data are you collecting and why it matters 00:05:35 Understanding third-party data responsibilities 00:07:59 How to evaluate vendor security 00:10:15 Remote work and role-based access control 00:13:18 Does organization size change the approach? 00:16:01 Enabling staff without compromising security 00:19:22 What really happens in a data breach 00:21:24 The importance of practicing breach response 00:23:01 Tabletop exercises and insider risks 00:26:38 Is there hope for cybersecurity progress? #NonprofitCybersecurity  #DonorTrustFind 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
