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.

Did you know there is a rescue sanctuary dedicated to blind cats? Linda and Rita were amazed to find such a wonderful rescue, full of happy cats who don't miss their sight at all. Since cats mainly rely on their sense of smell and the vibrations of their whiskers to make their way through the world, their lack of site doesn't slow them down one bit. Meeting Katherine Hilton, Program Manager or Donor Relations and Stewardship for Blind Cat Rescue, was a heartwarming experience. She has so much love for these special cats, who get around just as well as any other cat. You can even visit BlindCatRescue.Com and see for yourself via their 24-Hour LIVE CAMS! Join Linda and Rita as they talk with Katherine about the sanctuary, and why she tells people “Don't feel sorry for them” because these cats are just as happy as can be! EPISODE NOTES: Blind Cat Rescue
