Podcasts about donors

In this episode of The First Day from The Fund Raising School, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., welcomes back Rick Dunham, founder and chair of Dunham+Company, for an insightful breakdown of donor confidence heading into 2025. Drawing on a fresh national survey of 1,500 active donors (each having given at least $20 in the past year), Dunham reports that 91% of donors plan to continue giving, an encouraging signal in a landscape often marred by doom-and-gloom headlines. Even more uplifting? A robust 79% intend to give the same or more this year, marking one of the strongest confidence ratings since 2020. The study reveals that this wave of confidence is largely buoyed by an improving economic outlook. Donors' optimism about the future, especially in the wake of recent elections, appears to be boosting charitable intent. But Dunham emphasizes that while economic conditions matter, nonprofits themselves still carry the torch. Communication is king, or at least, the royal herald. Donors reported that consistent, clear messaging from organizations significantly influenced their giving decisions. The takeaway? Don't ghost your supporters, keep them in the loop and show them how their gifts are making a difference. Even in uncertain times, a compelling case for support remains your fundraising MVP. Of course, economic anxieties haven't vanished entirely. Inflation has resurfaced as a top reason why 14% of donors expect to give less, despite the rate sitting under 3% at the time of the study. It's not just math, it's mindset. Dunham points to the psychological impact of inflation, suggesting that how people feel about the economy often outweighs the actual numbers. Generational giving also enters the spotlight, with millennials stealing the show by donating 18% more than Gen X, despite earning an average of $23,000 less. Wrapping things up, Dunham serves a double scoop of strategic advice: don't underestimate boomers, who still control the majority of wealth, and make your online giving experience stupid simple. With 70% of respondents giving online and mobile usage on the rise, your website needs to be donor-friendly and frustration-free. And yes, even in our digital world, younger donors are oddly thrilled to receive physical mail. So whether it's an email, a postcard, or a perfectly timed text, keep the relationship warm and the giving process easy. Because at the end of the day, confidence isn't just about numbers, it's about connection.

On this episode, I am Kickin' It with Filmmakers Omegia Keeys and Kathy Patterson-Taylor as they discuss navigating the film industry as women, joining forces, and their new vampire-inspired series, "Donors."

Ever faced a frustrated donor? If you've been fundraising for any length of time, chances are you've been on the receiving end of donor displeasure. Donor frustration comes in many forms - from upset letters and negative social media comments to exasperated responses when you reach out. Andrew and Rhen tackle these awkward situations with practical advice for becoming a supportive listener. Their key insight: when donors express frustration, it often stems from genuine care about your organization and a desire to see improvement. As a fundraiser, learning to separate a donor's anger from their feelings about you personally is essential for navigating these challenging interactions successfully.

Building strong donor relationships goes beyond just securing gifts—it's about creating a meaningful feedback loop that fosters deeper, lasting connections. By listening to donors' perspectives, nonprofits can identify pain points, refine processes, and show that their voices matter. Randall also explores how this approach leads to better retention, upgraded gifts, and risk mitigation, all while building a culture of trust and genuine relationship-building.

While it's true that nonprofits often fail for lack of funding, there are reasons that they don't achieve funding or that they use it incorrectly and/or inappropriately. Here's my experience from eight boards, including chairing two of them: The boards are weak. They are made up of "names" who would seem to be significant, but who provide very little in terms of governance skills, strategic viewpoint, or even attendance. The executive director/CEO remains too long. The "shelf life" of these leaders is about seven years. After that, they stop serving the institution and the institution starts serving them. They create a tyrannical "fiefdom." No skin in the game. There must be a "give or get" minimum financial contribution from the board. They can't just play with "other people's money," and many granting foundations insist on such investment as a must for grants. They are not run as businesses. There is a budget to meet, strategic goals to achieve, the mission to be accomplished. They often approve budgets with illusory revenue sources, for example. They aren't professionally run. Just because you're a "volunteer" doesn't mean you have an excuse to be unprofessional. You need to meet accountabilities, show up, and do your job. Donors are not sufficiently romanced. Donors need to be "triaged" so that the highest donors receive the most recognition. One theater, in a fit of "woke" madness, actually put donors in alphabetical order in their playbill, so that no one knew who gave $5 or $50,000. That's just dumb marketing. They exhaust funds and credit lines with no idea of how to repay. Debit kills the arts in particular. There's no room to take risks or to contract for expensive rights. Politics overwhelm the value. It was just pointed out that every member of the board of National Public Radio, accused of being far too liberal and unfair in its reporting, is a Democrat. That wasn't an accident, and they're using public tax money. They default to tactics on the board, not strategy. Instead of talking about what to create to attract more patrons or donors, they discuss what meal to serve at the next fundraiser. Every organization is a business. You need customers/clients/members/audience/contributors. You need leadership and board members who know how to run a business and meet goals and financial requirements. Oh yeah: And you need term limits to remain contemporary and effective.

Few people know how nonprofits work. Dan does. Specializing in helping business owners and professionals create nonprofits that last, Dan has helped new nonprofits raise over $3 million, turned around several struggling organizations, and helped over 30 non-profit leaders create sustainable nonprofits. Key Takeaways:Dan emphasized that fundraising fears are often rooted in psychological barriers. By reframing asking for money as a partnership and understanding the donor's desire to create impact, nonprofit leaders can overcome their reluctance to fundraise.Instead of making small asks, nonprofits should quantify their actual economic and social impact. Dan shared an example of a youth entrepreneurship program that could demonstrate $40 million in economic impact, which justifies asking for larger investments.Donors want to be part of the solution and make a difference. Treat them as collaborators who wish they could be on the front lines. By creating genuine relationships and showing how donors can contribute to meaningful change, nonprofits can build more sustainable support.Dan passionately argued that nonprofits are uniquely positioned to solve society's most pressing problems. By raising standards, focusing on solutions, and communicating their value, nonprofits can attract people who are looking to be part of something meaningful. “You have no regrets about asking people for their time, and time is irreplaceable. Once people give you their time, they're not getting it back. Money is replaceable, they can get money back.” “Nonprofits are the vanguard for the greatest change in how we solve social issues and the greatest impact on the social issues we face today. The vast majority of the problems that we face today are problems nonprofits are positioned uniquely to solve.” “What matters more is picking the right donor to actually talk to and when you approach it as a partnership, you're not looking for that person to give you money, you're looking to see if that person is a good partner.” - Dan Johnson Reach out to Dan Johnson at:https://nextlevelnonprofits.us/https://www.youtube.com/@nlnonprofits   Ask for and receive all you want, need and deserve without feeling rejected, ineffective, or pushy.

Power Shift is an experiment in dialogue that puts decision-makers in aid and philanthropy and those affected by their decisions in honest, one-on-one conversations about the aid sector's inequalities. ___ Michael Köhler and Nadine Saba are just two of the many people tasked with advancing the goals of the Grand Bargain – one of the most ambitious attempts at delivering humanitarian aid more effectively and efficiently.  As such, they often log into the same meetings by videoconference. And yet, Köhler, one of three ambassadors tasked with overseeing the process, and Saba, a Grand Bargain sherpa representing Global South NGOs, have never spoken one-on-one. Until now.  Over the course of seven weeks in mid-2024, Köhler and Saba met over Zoom as part of the Power Shift experiment – one leading high-level meetings from Brussels, and the other contending with real-life humanitarian crises on the ground as both a local organisation leader, and citizen.  Much has changed in the aid sector since these initial meetings, but the spirited, yet convivial, debates between Köhler and Saba have taken on a new urgency as the world reacts to the loss of major Western humanitarian funding. “Are we relinquishing power? Are we keeping it in the hands of the donors?” Saba challenged Köhler, “And if we're keeping it in the hands of the donor, how much are they attuned to what is happening on the fields? Not much.” Listen in to the no-holds-barred conversations between Köhler and Saba as they take on a range of topics, from the yawning gap between headquarters-level decisions and realities in the field, to the dilemma of donor countries' competing obligations to constituents and affected people, to the need to treat the Grand Bargain – and other attempts at change – with a lot more urgency.  ___ Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, or YouTube, or search “The New Humanitarian” in your favourite podcast app. You can find transcripts of all podcasts on our website.

Episode Summary:Your event was a hit—but how do you keep donors engaged after the night is over? In this episode of Elevate Your Event, we dive into the must-know strategies for donor retention.From capturing donor data at check-in to creating meaningful touchpoints throughout the year, we're breaking down practical ways to keep supporters connected. Plus, we discuss why making small improvements to your event each year keeps donors excited (without alienating your long-time supporters).Key Takeaways:Get Their Info – Capturing donor data at check-in is essential for future engagement and follow-ups.Keep in Touch – Donors should hear from you more than once a year—updates and appreciation go a long way.Mix It Up – Small event tweaks keep things fresh and prevent donor fatigue.Use Surveys Wisely – Gather feedback during the event to make impactful changes.Don't Be Afraid of Change – Evolving your event strategy helps attract and retain the next generation of donors.

Gaslighting.  Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse that involves manipulating someone into questioning their sanity, memories, or perception of reality.  Sounds horrible right?  An example of this: a person or institution may say that an activist campaigning for change is irrational or “crazy,” or they may deny biases if someone confronts them about microaggressions. Nobody wants to be gaslit – it makes you feel confused, anxious, and isolated, and we know from research that feeling like that can have a real impact on your mental AND physical health.   But here we are, being gaslit by the leaders of our very own United States government. And when we say things like this, I keep coming back to George Orwell's quote from 1984 - or was it 2025? - which says: “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” This is exactly what's happening now. So - how do we keep ourselves from being fooled? How do we make sure that our collective mental and physical health as a nation doesn't go down the toilet? We need to gather evidence to counteract the denial, the trivializing, the stereotyping that's happening. So, in this episode, that's what we're going to do. Gather evidence to make sure you have all the info you need to stand up and push back against people who say what's happening is normal. Educate yourselves and then each other because mainstream media is covering the chaos. We (the collective we, I mean)  have to cover the truth. To be clear: nothing that's happening now is normal. And we cannot be gaslit into thinking it is.   What to listen for: Why the government is not actually bloated, and the mass firings are illegal How tariffs are taxes, which will be increasing prices for YOU at the register - for eggs, houses, appliances, and more Safety and security are at risk - both domestically with air traffic concerns, all the way to the shift in our international world order - and with the reduction in healthcare and schooling, among other things sure to come  What you can do, both locally and through calling your representatives.

Major donors give for a mix of personal and external reasons. Thus, some donate because they're deeply passionate about a cause, want to make a real difference, or feel a moral responsibility to give back. While recognition, tax benefits, or social connections influence others. Therefore, understanding these major donor motivations helps nonprofits build stronger, more meaningful relationships with donors. When organizations engage donors in a way that aligns with their values and goals, philanthropy becomes more than just a transaction—it becomes a lasting partnership that drives real change. In today's podcast, Courtney Laddusaw from Bristol Strategy Group and Stephen Halasnik from Financing Solutions (https://financingsolutionsnow.com/) discuss the motivations of major giving donors. 

Every nonprofit wants to retain more donors. But too many lose support because they let donor questions and concerns sit unanswered.Donors who receive a response to their inquiry within 5 minutes are significantly more likely to stay engaged. And yet, many nonprofits take days—or weeks—to reply to simple donor requests.No bueno.But easily fixable. Here's how to fix it.Want to work together?

In this episode of The First Day podcast, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., is joined by Robert Osborne Jr., principal of The Osborne Group, to discuss the often-overlooked but crucial segment of mid-level donors. With extensive experience in frontline fundraising and consulting, Robert highlights the importance of mid-level gifts—typically ranging from $1,000 to $50,000—as a key driver of nonprofit sustainability. He emphasizes that while many organizations focus on small donors or major gifts, mid-level giving represents both an immediate revenue opportunity and a vital pipeline for future major donors. Robert explains that mid-level fundraising sits between annual giving and major gift fundraising, combining the efficiency of direct marketing with the personal touch of relationship-building. Instead of treating these donors as a faceless giving club, nonprofits should integrate personal engagement strategies such as small events, direct outreach, and annual touchpoints. He advises organizations to identify potential mid-level donors through data analysis, wealth screening, and past giving behaviors. By strategically upgrading donors from smaller gifts to mid-level contributions, nonprofits can significantly grow their fundraising revenue over time. The conversation also explores the critical role of stewardship in mid-level giving. Research shows that most major donors first give at a mid-level before making a larger commitment. Robert stresses that effective stewardship isn't just about gratitude—it's about demonstrating impact. Donors need to see how their contributions make a difference, or they risk disengaging. Without intentional stewardship, mid-level donors may stagnate or stop giving altogether, limiting an organization's potential for long-term financial growth. The episode concludes with practical advice for fundraisers navigating internal pressure to focus solely on major gifts. Robert argues that mid-level fundraising is an essential investment, offering both short-term financial gains and long-term donor development. By using data to illustrate return on investment and retention improvements, fundraisers can make a compelling case to leadership. Bill and Robert emphasize that all donors, regardless of gift size, deserve attention and cultivation—because a strong mid-level giving program fuels both current success and future philanthropy.

Many nonprofit leaders think that making their mission sound detailed and sophisticated will make it more compelling. But the opposite is true! Overcomplicated messaging actually pushes donors away. In this episode, I'll walk you through why clarity is key and how to craft a mission statement that inspires action.When your mission is clear, everything becomes easier—your team knows what needs to be done, hiring and delegation improve, and fundraising becomes more effective. Donors don't give when they're confused, and jargon kills the emotional connection that motivates people to support your cause. I'll share a simple formula to make your messaging resonate and help you raise more money.What You'll Learn:Why unclear mission statements drive donors awayThe power of simple, emotionally compelling messagingA proven formula to explain your mission in a way that sticksKey Takeaways:Confused People Don't Give – If donors don't immediately understand what you do, they'll move on.Jargon Kills Emotion – People give because they feel something, not because of complex explanations.If a 10-Year-Old Can't Understand It, Neither Will Your Donors – The best messaging is simple and memorable.Want to work together?
