Hali Lee's The Big We (Zando, 2025) offers a compelling counterpoint to traditional billionaire-driven philanthropy (which she dubs "Big Phil"). Instead of logic models and donor-centric metrics, Lee champions giving circles—groups of everyday people who pool resources to support causes they value while building genuine community connections. Drawing from her experiences founding the Asian Women Giving Circle and co-creating the Donors of Color Network, Lee showcases giving circles making tangible impact: Seiji's neighborhood-focused Radfund in Brooklyn, Lily's youth philanthropy group in Arizona, and Lisa's circle that's moved over $1 million to progressive state legislative candidates. These stories illustrate how small, collective actions can drive significant change while fostering belonging and joy. The book's "Me to We to Big We" framework guides readers from personal reflection on values toward collective action and ultimately toward strengthening democracy itself. Lee argues that giving circles aren't merely funding mechanisms—they're antidotes to loneliness, laboratories for civic engagement, and bridges reconnecting us to cultural traditions of generosity. By democratizing philanthropy, these circles transform not just how we give, but how we relate to each other and engage as citizens in an increasingly fragmented society.

Many nonprofits focus only on digital or direct mail, but you don't have to choose — nor should you. Donors crave cohesive, consistent experiences across multiple touchpoints, and getting your digital and direct mail efforts in sync can help you deliver. In this episode of the Go Beyond Fundraising podcast, we're talking with David Sacchetti, AVP of Client Strategy, about how a direct mail strategy backed by a complementary digital campaign can help solve the myriad challenges today's fundraisers face. No matter where you are with each channel, David offers actionable advice for leveling up. We discuss the importance of storytelling across channels to guide donors toward giving, with David sharing the digital trends that fit perfectly into a direct mail–first campaign. We also cover why your fundraising and marketing teams must work together to ensure brand impressions become donations.

Are you tired of incessant, unhinged Democratic fundraising texts and emails? Well, so are we. Tommy sits down with three experts in the party's digital fundraising space to talk about how this model became the norm, why it may be hurting Democrats more than it helps, and how that campaign — you know the one — got your cell phone number. Blue State Digital founder Joe Rospars joins to diagnose the problem, our own Dan Pfeiffer weighs in on its impact, and ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones explains why Democrats rely on the tactic and lays out what we stand to lose if Trump's attacks against her organization succeed. For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Andrew begins this episode by emphasizing that fundraisers should expect failures as normal parts of the job.  There's no way to avoid potential donors who respond unfavorably, and to effectively handle this inevitable rejection, fundraisers have to remember that rejection isn't personal.  Donors have countless reasons for declining that rarely relate to the fundraiser themselves.After sharing their list of daunting statistics for fundraisers, Andrew and Rhen follow up by discussing coping strategies for perceived failure.  Long story short:  a resilient mindset and supportive community help fundraisers persist through challenges, knowing that facing and overcoming failure is fundamental to eventual fundraising success.

Monthly Giving Week is here! So how do you grow a recurring donor program from a trickle to over 5,200 committed supporters? In this powerful episode, Ashlyn Jones, the force behind Houston Food Bank's “Faithful Friends” program, shares how the organization invested in a full-time sustainer role. AND, why having someone solely focused on nurturing monthly givers has been a game changer for retention and revenue.Ashlyn walks us through how emergencies, storytelling, and strategic touchpoints helped build long-term donor loyalty. She dives into the campaigns and platforms they've used, including paid social ads, telefunding, and stewardship emails - and how simple things like phone calls and handwritten notes have moved the needle on retention.One of the most inspiring takeaways? Ashlyn's approach to storytelling and writing in a way that donors feel their impact immediately, leading to an increase in their monthly gifts.

In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, Amy Eisenstein and Andrea Kihlstedt unpack a common but costly mistake nonprofits make—treating donors as checkbooks instead of partners. Sparked by recent federal funding cuts to arts organizations, this conversation challenges fundraising teams to rethink how they communicate with their most committed supporters during a crisis.Too often, when a major grant disappears or budgets fall short, nonprofits react with urgency but little strategy. A mass email plea might generate a trickle of support, but it rarely strengthens long-term donor relationships or builds confidence. Amy and Andrea argue there's a better way—one that starts by treating your top donors like trusted advisors.The episode digs into the difference between reactive fundraising and relationship-based fundraising. The key? Seeing your donors as people who want your mission to succeed and are willing to help in more ways than writing a check. Andrea shares a personal example of how a missed opportunity left her feeling like "just another wallet," and Amy discusses the psychological impact of mass appeals versus personalized outreach.You'll hear:Why most fundraising appeals fall flat after a crisis—and what to do insteadHow to engage your top donors in real conversations about strategy, not just fundingWhy even non-fundraising experts have valuable insight into program decisionsThe value of building a mental “donor committee” that you turn to regularlyHow relational fundraising mirrors real-life friendships—and why that mattersWays to make your follow-up more than a thank-you noteAmy and Andrea offer a practical framework that fundraising professionals can adopt immediately—starting with a simple mindset shift: Donors are institutional friends, not vending machines. If that sounds soft, think again. This approach can lead to larger gifts, more meaningful partnerships, and long-term campaign success.This conversation is especially timely for nonprofit leaders facing funding cuts, uncertainty, or stalled campaigns. If you're tired of short-term fixes and want to start building lasting support, this episode offers a clear path forward.To learn more about capital campaign strategy and donor engagement, visit capitalcampaignpro.com, where you'll find free resources and ways to work directly with expert advisors like Amy and Andrea.

How do you fund what matters when everything feels urgent—and uncertain? In this episode of our Hold Fast series, we sit down with Hali Lee—philanthropy innovator, author of The Big We, and founding partner of Radiant Strategies—for a candid conversation on funding with heart, courage, and community at the center. Hali shares hard-earned wisdom from building collective giving movements like the Asian Women Giving Circle and Donors of Color Network, reminding us that generosity flows through relationships, not just resources. Together, we explore how nonprofits can build trust-based funding relationships, embrace smart shifts toward diversification, and create spaces of belonging that inspire action. ❤️If you've been craving practical strategies and soulful encouragement for navigating power imbalances, donor shifts, and fundraising burnout—this episode is your invitation to pause, reflect, and root deeper. You'll hear:Why now is the moment for individuals—and for belongingBuilding trust without losing yourselfSmall teams, smart shifts: diversifying without burning outCollective giving models for grassroots growthEpisode Highlights: The Importance of Relationships in Philanthropy (02:55)Navigating Urgency and Trust in Nonprofits (05:59)The Future of Philanthropy: Inclusivity and Collaboration (09:01)Collective Generosity vs Big Philanthropy (12:11)Connecting Through Shared Experiences (22:39)The Power of Community and Belonging (24:06)Grassroots Movement for Collective Action (26:03)Finding Joy in Connection (30:43)Empowering Individuals to Create Change (32:37)Episode Shownotes: www.weareforgood.com/episode/619Thank You to our Partners

In this episode of The First Day from The Fund Raising School, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., sits down with Virginia Harrison, Ph.D., Assistant Professor at Clemson University, to dig deep into a question many nonprofit professionals fear to ask out loud: Why do donors leave? With a background in public relations and firsthand fundraising experience, Dr. Harrison brings both academic insight and real-world perspective to the increasingly vital topic of donor stewardship. Drawing from her research, Dr. Harrison outlines the seven reasons long-time donors walk away, even after years of involvement. From lack of responsible reporting to weak engagement, poor recognition, legal and policy missteps, organizational instability, and a fading sense of social fit, the message is clear: stewardship is not fluff, it's strategy. “I don't want to just be a checkbook,” one donor told her. They want impact, community, and communication that goes beyond the thank-you letter and holiday fruit basket. Dr. Harrison emphasizes the power of meaningful engagement. It's not about inviting donors to every ribbon-cutting and hoping they post it on LinkedIn, it's about tailoring involvement to their passions and skills. Whether it's mentoring a scholarship recipient or lending financial expertise to a capital campaign, donors want to feel useful, respected, and connected. And for smaller nonprofits feeling under-resourced, Dr. Harrison reassures that personalization doesn't mean perfection, small groups and natural social connections can still build a powerful community of philanthropy. The episode closes with a reminder that stewardship isn't something that happens after the gift, it's what makes the next one possible. In a world where fundraisers are often pushed to “just go get the money,” Dr. Harrison's research reframes stewardship as the fuel, not the fluff, of long-term fundraising success. Or as a colleague succinctly put it: “Stewardship is the fundraising that happens in between the asks.”

A lot of nonprofits rely on mass messages and templated outreach that make donors feel like just another transaction. People want to feel like their support means something, not like they're being hit up for cash on autopilot. When there's no real connection, even well-meaning appeals fall flat. But when a supporter feels seen and valued, everything shifts—the relationship becomes real, and the impact grows with it. John Lepp is a direct response marketing and design expert with 25+ years of experience helping charities connect with donors. As a partner at Agents of Good and author of Creative Deviations, he focuses on creative, heartfelt fundraising strategies. Today, he highlights the importance of recognizing donors—especially older women—and crafting emotionally resonant, personalized campaigns. Stay tuned!

On today's program, Milestone Church in North Texas announced this week it is expanding its campuses by absorbing Cross Timbers Church in nearby Argyle. Cross Timbers has faced a series of challenges in the past year, including the forced resignation of its senior pastor. We'll have details.

We'll take a look. A new survey shows the number of donors continued to drop in 2024…but revenue from overall donations rose. But first, Ethnos 360—one of the largest missionary agencies in the country—has been sued by a child of missionaries who says she was abused while her parents served in Indonesia.

Natasha: But first, Ethnos 360—one of the largest missionary agencies in the country—has been sued by a child of missionaries who says she was abused while her parents served in Indonesia. Warren: Kayla McClain, 25, claims she was abused by an Ethnos360 missionary, Nate Horling, between 2005 and 2010. Her lawsuit asserts claims against Ethnos 360 for negligence, negligent training and supervision, fraud in the inducement, and vicarious liability for the alleged abuse committed by Horling. Boz Tchividjian, the attorney representing McClain, is also founder of Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment (GRACE). said in a statement to MinistryWatch.  “Once again, Ethnos360 faces a lawsuit for failing to protect a child from sexual abuse — and for its deeply inadequate response when the survivor courageously came forward,” “Our client, like far too many others, was not kept safe. But through this legal action, she is now seeking the accountability and justice that were long denied to her,” he said. Natasha: What happened? Warren: In 2005, McClain's parents served as missionaries with Ethnos360 in Indonesia after completing their missionary training. While there, Kayla McClain became acquainted with the Horlings, another missionary family living in the same housing area provided by Ethnos360. The Horlings had a daughter the same age as McClain. According to court filings, McClain often felt uncomfortable around Nate Horling, who would stroke her hair and give her prolonged full-body hugs. McClain also claims Horling showed her lewd pictures and videos of children in the Ethnos360 office while she sat on his lap and he touched her inappropriately. And in 2009 she was raped by Horling Natasha: And this was just one of multiple cases within Ethnos 360 the lawsuit a...

"...Let us, then, be up and doing,    With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing,    Learn to labor and to wait."This week, I'm reflecting on a poem, A Psalm of Life, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, published in 1838.Reflection questions:How does thinking of your donors as partners as well change your perspective?If you are in the middle of a fundraising campaign, when was the last time you gave an update to your donors, to your partners for this campaign?Reflection on poem:This week, I was reminded of the active nature of charity by donors. One of my clients was near the finish line of raising enough to meet their goal and move forward on a capital projects.  But, just before the deadline they were short. Just a small gap.  They called one of the donors to the project and shared the information about the gap.  What did the donor do?  He committed to calling his network to fill the gap.  And, the gap was filled. It reminded me the quote often attributed to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.  “The life of a man consists not in seeing visions and dreaming dreams, but in active charity and in willing service.”  This quote is a paraphrase of his poem, A Psalm of Life.When we are in the middle of a fundraising campaign, we often think of people as just potential donors.  In reality, many of these donors are also partners.  They have chosen us and our organizations as a conduit to the cause they care about.  Donors chose the charity, not the other way around.  That means many of them are emotionally invested into the success of the campaign.  They want to come alongside and be a partner. They want to act, achieve, pursue success for the cause. Just like this donor helping my client cross the finish line.This work has entered the public domain.What do you think? Send me a text.

In this episode of The First Day from The Fund Raising School, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., welcomes back Dan Heist, Ph.D. and Gen Shaker, Ph.D., to explore new research on how fundraisers are navigating relationships with donors who give through donor-advised funds (DAFs). With nearly 2 million DAF accounts holding $250 billion and distributing over $50 billion annually, these philanthropic vehicles are now a central feature of the fundraising landscape. The study, presented at AFP ICON, sheds light on the unique opportunities and challenges DAFs present for building meaningful donor relationships. While the data shows that only a small percentage of DAF grants are truly anonymous, fundraisers report consistent struggles with identifying and stewarding DAF donors. Gen and Dan highlight that these issues are often tied to data entry and internal processes rather than actual donor secrecy. When gift entry and CRM systems are not optimized for DAF giving, opportunities to connect with donors, and properly thank them, are lost. This creates barriers not only to stewardship but also to long-term relationship-building. Fundraisers who've adapted their systems and collaborated closely with back-office teams are better positioned to maintain strong connections with DAF donors. The study also emphasizes that DAFs can be powerful indicators of donor intent and capacity. Fundraisers reported that knowing a donor uses a DAF gives them confidence to engage in deeper conversations about giving goals, major gift potential, and long-term philanthropy. Despite common skepticism about DAFs being used as “parking lots,” the researchers point to data showing DAF donors are among the most strategic givers, granting a higher proportion of their assets annually than private foundations. With the right approach, fundraisers can transform these gifts into lasting relationships that fuel mission-driven work. Finally, Gen and Dan identify key roles fundraisers play in working with DAF donors: educator, facilitator, and compliance guide. These roles require fundraisers to be adaptable, strategic, and highly relational. The research team has even updated the traditional major gift cycle to reflect the nuances of DAF fundraising, offering a customized roadmap for cultivating DAF donors. As always, the episode underscores a core truth: no matter the tool or vehicle, fundraising remains deeply rooted in relationships. And with the right systems and strategies, DAFs can become a bridge, not a barrier, to transformational giving.

It's Fundraiser's Friday—and we engage in a candid, layered conversation about one of the sector's least addressed yet most persistent realities: stress. Specifically, the stress experienced by nonprofit fundraisers who juggle mounting expectations, emotional labor, event overload, and relentless revenue goals.Cohost Julia Patrick opens with a sobering observation: “We can't, as a sector, keep fundraisers going. They burn out and leave—an average tenure of only 18 months.” This sets the tone for a deep dive into the sources of that burnout and practical frameworks to address them. Cohost Tony Beall offers a powerful, centering reminder: “Give yourself the grace and accept that you need these things for yourself. There's no guilt in taking care of the caretaker.”Together, they examine six categories of stress fundraisers commonly endure: revenue pressure, donor expectations, event management demands, campaign overload, internal organizational scrutiny, and peer isolation. Instead of simply bemoaning these conditions, the cohosts provide tactical insight. From outsourcing logistics and investing in professional benefit auctioneers, to building strong volunteer committees and peer support networks, they propose both mindset shifts and structural solutions.Tony emphasizes the importance of open and honest communication—up, down, and across the organization—as one of the most effective antidotes to mounting stress. Equally essential, Julia insists, is understanding the often-forgotten emotional toll of donor relationships and campaign deadlines, which can be exacerbated by unrealistic leadership expectations or outdated traditions like “we've always done this event.”What emerges is a roadmap for healing a profession at risk. This isn't just an episode—it's a resource, a reset, and a reaffirmation for nonprofit professionals who need permission and tools to stay in the work they love.00:00:00 Welcome to Fundraisers Friday 00:01:00 Fundraiser burnout and short tenure 00:02:00 Revenue pressure and mental strain 00:05:00 Open communication as stress management 00:07:35 Donor relationships and expectation stress 00:10:00 Fundraisers as accidental event managers 00:13:15 Return on effort for fundraising events 00:16:00 Volunteer committees and shared ownership 00:18:10 Benefit auctioneers and event ROI 00:21:00 Campaign overload and tech tools 00:24:00 Internal scrutiny and team pressure 00:27:00 Peer support and professional associations 00:30:00 Final takeaways and call for self-care#NonprofitLeadership #FundraisingStress #DonorEngagement 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

Mitchell Warren, AVAC's Executive Director, joins Ben to scope out a forward-looking infectious disease   prevention strategy. It is urgently needed, amidst political and economic turmoil caused by the dismantling of US aid and declines in funding from European donors. With HIV as the poster child of what once was global health solidarity, it is an opportunity for a resurgent and resilient Global South to take the reins and set priorities in how to deploy new biomedical innovations, and protecting the rights of communities affected by HIV and other pandemics. Ben and Mitchell also delve into the various legal actions the public health community is taking against the current US administration's executive orders, asking the question - how to we prep for prevention at home and internationally?  00:00 Introduction and Current Challenges in Global Health  01:09 Welcoming Mitchell Warren and AVAC's Mission  01:43 The Evolution of HIV Prevention and AVAC's Role  03:17 Current Frustrations and Challenges in HIV Prevention  05:15 The Promise and Challenges of Lenacapavir  08:03 The Importance of Choice in HIV Prevention  10:22 Navigating Funding and Policy Obstacles  12:43 The Role of Donors and Ministries in HIV Prevention  14:56 The Urgency of Lenacapavir Approval and Implementation  20:52 Sustainability and Future Planning in Global Health  25:44 Legal Battle Against Government Orders  26:50 Temporary Restraining Order and Its Implications  27:14 Government's Slow Compliance and Ongoing Legal Struggles  28:38 Public Record and Whistleblower Revelations  30:56 Impact on American Influence and Global Health  33:45 Diplomacy and Foreign Assistance  35:04 Consequences of Policy Changes  40:01 Future Strategies and Targets for Global Health  45:51 Music and Reflections on Democracy  48:21 Conclusion and Final Thoughts  Learn more about AVAC https://avac.org

My newsletter: https://simonowens.substack.com/ Given the tumultuous economic landscape for local news, many outlets are turning to nonprofit models because they offer increased flexibility for generating revenue. But while these outlets have been adept at attracting foundation grants and small donor memberships, they're not doing enough to cultivate relationships with the wealthy members of their own communities, many of whom can write much larger checks than your average reader.   At least that's the thesis of Julie Rafferty. She not only has a deep background in consulting with nonprofits, but she also played an instrumental role in co-founding Brookline News, a nonprofit media outlet that operates outside of Boston.    In a recent interview, Rafferty walked through how she got wealthy members of her city to fork over $100,000 before the outlet even launched, and she gave some good advice on how other nonprofit newsrooms can identify and reach out to rich people in their own communities.

In this episode of The Small Nonprofit Podcast, Maria sits down with major gifts expert, Emma Lewzey, to bust myths, shift mindsets, and bring some much-needed clarity (and courage!) to one of fundraising's most misunderstood areas. Whether you're in a small shop or a national organization, this episode will remind you: you don't need to be perfect to build authentic relationships; you just need to be curious, strategic, and a little bit brave. Major Gift Fundraising – The Highlights: Getting over the fear of asking for major gifts is about proportion: It's not about the amount, it's about alignment and impact. Your value as a nonprofit is real and tangible: You're not “begging" - you're offering a partnership that enables the donor to live out their values. Authenticity builds trust: Donors respond to transparency, not perfection. Fear and perfectionism are the biggest roadblocks: Don't wait for the perfect case for support or phone script - start with what you have. Small shops have big advantages in major gifts: Easier to build personal relationships and offer meaningful donor impact.

The Irish Blood Transfusion Service is appealing to all donors to attend its clinic in Clare this weekend, to relieve pressure on the blood supply. At present, there are just over three days worth of O negative blood in stock, two and a half days of AB negative supply, while there is enough supply of B negative blood to cater for four days demand. A blood donation clinic will be taking place this Sunday in the West County Hotel in Ennis from 11:50 until 3:10. Broadford-based IBTS Donor Recruitment Executive, Alex O'Connor, says there are multiple factors behind low blood supplies to start the year.

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."

Have you ever felt the goosebumps when a grateful patient shares how your organization changed their life?

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.
