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.

Professional Christian Carey Robinson of  @TheMovementOC church returns to the show to talk about the complexities of leadership, how he stays accountable in his leadership position as a pastor, and why he calls himself a Christian nationalist.

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.

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.

What if your next fundraising event wasn't just another rubber chicken gala—but a magnetic, mission-driven experience people couldn't stop talking about? That's exactly what Brittany Bedford, Customer Success Manager at Bloomerang, urges nonprofit leaders to imagine.In this high-energy episode, Brittany dives deep into the art of turning events from forgettable to phenomenal. She shares fresh research, real-world examples, and wildly creative strategies that help nonprofits connect with long-term donors in meaningful, memorable ways.“We've got to shift from the fundraiser's point of view to the attendee's,” Brittany emphasizes. “They're coming to feel connected. This is their chance to be a part of something meaningful.”Julia Patrick, host, agrees—and doesn't hold back: “We don't even sit down and ask, what do our guests need? That's dreadful. We just copy and paste the last event!”From gamified donor experiences and staff-led greetings to runway walk-offs and dogs painting art live onstage, Brittany proves that creativity isn't just a nice-to-have—it's a donor retention superpower. In one standout example, she describes an event where guests interacted with service dogs creating art, then bid on those pieces at auction. “People were laughing, posting, and telling the story for weeks,” she recalls.She also unpacks Bloomerang's new research showing that:·        70% of donors say a fun experience makes them more likely to stay engaged·        53% say gamification was their most memorable event moment·        Yet only 6% of fundraisers are implementing this!The takeaway? Nonprofits must ditch the rinse-and-repeat and embrace innovation—starting with the very first hello.

Have you ever wondered why some nonprofits make a huge impact while others struggle to grow? The difference isn't always their mission—it's their ability to fundraise and scale effectively. James Misner, founder of the Kipos Group, joins us today to reveal why bigger doesn't always mean better in the nonprofit sector. James spent 25 years witnessing smaller nonprofits achieve incredible results—only to remain largely invisible due to weak fundraising skills. We dive into the critical business skills most nonprofit founders lack, from building fundraising teams to understanding marketing ROI. James explains how he helps these leaders think differently, equipping them with essential tools to fundraise confidently and sustainably. James also shares powerful insights on thought leadership strategy. Instead of chasing large, vague markets, he advocates for targeting highly specific audiences. He discusses why giving away your best insights freely creates a pipeline of opportunity, helping more people and generating growth simultaneously. Finally, we explore the challenge of perfectionism in thought leadership content. James encourages leaders to overcome their fear of judgment and embrace sharing imperfect but impactful ideas. If your mission matters, James argues, it's time to hit “publish.” Three Key Takeaways: • Smaller nonprofits can achieve massive impact if they master fundraising and marketing skills typically seen in larger organizations. • Focusing your thought leadership on a narrowly defined audience can drive stronger engagement and better outcomes than chasing broad markets. • Overcoming perfectionism and generously sharing valuable insights can create trust, generate opportunities, and significantly accelerate your organization's growth. If you found value in James Misner's insights on equipping nonprofits with the tools to scale through thought leadership and targeted fundraising, you won't want to miss our conversation with Stu Manewith in the episode "Thought Leadership Advocacy for Nonprofits". Stu dives into how nonprofit leaders can leverage their voices to advocate for their mission, build trust with donors, and create lasting impact. Together, these episodes offer a powerful playbook for nonprofit professionals looking to pair strategic thinking with storytelling to drive real change. Listen to both and discover how to amplify your organization's influence from the inside out.

Did you know that only 3% of charitable giving in the U.S. happens on a recurring basis, and moving that needle to just 5% could unlock $9 BILLION in annual funding for nonprofits?!Today I'm sharing my keynote from the 2025 Monthly Giving Summit and pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to stop treating recurring giving like a side hustle. It's time to make it the main event!Sustainable, predictable revenue doesn't happen by accident. It happens when we lead with intention, ask boldly, and invite people into something bigger than a one-time gift. And it starts with ONE powerful question: Do you have the habit of asking?Throughout my talk, you'll hear personal stories, industry-shifting data, and tactical strategies to help you build (or scale) a thriving monthly giving program. You'll walk away with ideas you can implement today (not next year!), to transform how you position recurring support, activate your donors, and build a future where sustainable giving becomes the norm.Resources & LinksWant to see more of the 2025 Monthly Giving Summit?
