Send us Fan MailData-driven nonprofit fundraising can strengthen donor retention, improve communications, and support better decisions—but the numbers can't replace human judgment!  In this Fundraisers Friday conversation, Julia Patrick and Tony Beall explore how nonprofit teams can use donor data, CRM systems, and artificial intelligence without losing the relationships that inspire generosity.Fundraisers now have access to an enormous range of information: giving frequency, donor lifetime value, campaign results, email engagement, event attendance, volunteer history, budgets, and predictive analytics. The challenge is not simply collecting more data. It is deciding which information deserves attention and how it should influence fundraising strategy.Tony recommends beginning with the areas carrying the greatest opportunity or risk, even if that means studying only the top or bottom 10%. Rather than attempting to measure everything, teams can begin with donor retention, giving patterns, and communication performance.“Data can help guide us to a decision point, but it doesn't make the decision for us,” Tony says.That distinction becomes especially important when nonprofits evaluate corporate gifts, partnerships, vendors, or AI platforms. A financially attractive opportunity may still conflict with the organization's values, reputation, or mission. Gift-acceptance policies and AI-use policies can help leaders make consistent decisions before a difficult situation develops.Julia also raises an increasingly urgent operational concern: where does donor information go when it is entered into an AI system? Nonprofits may be working with sensitive financial, behavioral, and relationship data. Protecting that information is fundamental to maintaining donor trust.The duo also challenge organizations to consider whether their CRM is strengthening relationships—or becoming a substitute for them??  Julia asks, “If your database or your CRM went down tomorrow, do you still know your donors?”Key Takeaways:Prioritize donor retention, giving frequency, and communication response before expanding the dashboard.Treat data as decision support—not an automatic answer.Create gift-acceptance and AI-use policies as part of organizational risk management.Test fundraising messages against audience behavior rather than internal preference.Protect donor information when using AI, CRM, accounting, and HR platforms.Invest in software training and adoption—not merely software licenses.00:00:00 Is Fundraising Becoming a Data Job?00:01:32 How to Avoid Fundraising Data Overload00:03:04 Data Should Empower Fundraisers—not Define Them00:05:54 When Intuition Conflicts With the Numbers00:07:02 Data Cannot Make Ethical Decisions00:09:31 Bias, Vendor Selection, and Better Decision Rubrics00:10:36 Why Every Nonprofit Needs a Gift Policy00:12:50 Which Fundraising Metrics Should Come First?00:14:59 Measuring Marketing and Communication Performance00:17:48 AI Ethics and Protecting Sensitive Donor Data00:20:57 Predictive Analytics for Fundraising Decisions00:22:32 Would You Know Your Donors Without Your CRM?00:25:47 Investing in Fundraising Technology and Training#TheNonprofitShow #NonprofitFundraising #FundraisingStrategyFind 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

Welcome back to the Petrus Development Show!  Andrew and Rhen return to tackle a topic no leader looks forward to: knowing when it's time to let a fundraiser go.As expected, they're not advocating for a quick, emotional decision.  Andrew and Rhen are firm that firing should always come after real effort, coaching, and correction. But sometimes, despite your best efforts, the kindest thing you can do — for your fundraiser, your team, and your mission — is to respectfully cut ties.  Andrew walks through the specifics: how to recognize when it's truly time, what to do before making the call, and what to do after. Your pre-decision groundwork helps you figure out whether the issue is a training gap or a fit issue. Your post-decision follow-through is what lets you communicate the change clearly and compassionately to your staff, donors, and community.The bottom line: letting a fundraiser go doesn't have to mean burning bridges. When done with care, the transition can protect your mission and everyone involved.

In this episode of The First Day from The Fund Raising School, Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., welcomes Morgan Jessup, Director of the Walk to End Alzheimer's for the Alzheimer's Association in Indianapolis. Bill opens with a reality many fundraisers know well: some of the nonprofit sector's most generous donors are members of the Boomer and Silent generations, and normal aging can sometimes bring changes in memory, communication, and decision-making. More serious conditions, including Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, can create even greater challenges. Morgan explains how the Alzheimer's Association supports families, caregivers, and communities while raising awareness and funding research through more than 600 Walk to End Alzheimer's events across the country. She also reminds listeners that these events often serve as a “front door” to services such as caregiver support groups, educational programs, and a free 24/7 helpline. Bill and Morgan then explore how fundraisers can distinguish ordinary forgetfulness from behavior that may signal a more serious concern. Misplacing keys once is one thing; repeated confusion about time or place, significant personality changes, missed commitments, inconsistent stories, or difficulty managing familiar responsibilities may warrant closer attention. Morgan encourages fundraisers to learn the Alzheimer's Association's ten warning signs and, just as importantly, to know their donors well enough to recognize meaningful changes. A single missed meeting may be nothing more than a crowded calendar doing what crowded calendars do. A consistent pattern, however, may suggest that the fundraiser should pause, observe, and consider whether the donor needs additional support. The conversation becomes especially important when a donor experiencing possible cognitive decline wants to make an unusually large gift or proposes a contribution that does not match previous behavior. Morgan advises fundraisers to respond with compassion, transparency, and a person-centered approach. That may mean gently confirming the donor's wishes, consulting trusted family members or advisers when appropriate, or seeking guidance before proceeding. She also recommends using the Alzheimer's Association's free 24/7 helpline, which is staffed by master's-level clinicians who can help callers prepare for difficult conversations and navigate questions about dementia. Bill reinforces the central ethical principle: the gift is never more important than the donor. Protecting the donor's dignity, autonomy, and well-being must remain the fundraiser's highest priority. Bill and Morgan close by emphasizing that nonprofits should not leave these situations to improvisation, crossed fingers, and a hurried hallway conversation. Organizations can prepare by including cognitive decline and donor vulnerability in gift-acceptance policies, establishing clear internal reporting procedures, and encouraging development staff to consult colleagues and leadership when concerns arise. Fundraisers should notice changes, document patterns carefully, seek expert guidance, and involve the donor's support network when appropriate. The takeaway is both practical and deeply human: fundraising is built on relationships, and those relationships require care during every stage of a donor's life. When cognitive decline enters the picture, ethical fundraising means slowing down, asking thoughtful questions, and remembering that generosity should always be met with compassion rather than pressure.

Send us Fan MailNonprofit strategic planning software is changing how leaders, boards, and fundraisers build plans that actually guide decisions. Sophia Shaw, co-founder of Plan Perfect, explains why the old “plan on a shelf” model no longer fits the business of nonprofits.Sophia brings deep sector experience as former CEO of the Chicago Botanic Garden, former leader of the nonprofit board governance program at Kellogg, and a nonprofit board chair. Her message is direct: strategic planning needs to live, move, and help organizations navigate change.In this conversation, Sophia explains how Plan Perfect helps nonprofits move from first surveys to finished plans while also connecting planning to enterprise risk management. Instead of building a document once and leaving it untouched, nonprofit leaders can use dashboards, AI-supported surveys, risk tools, tabletop exercises, and real-time updates to keep strategy connected to daily work.For fundraisers, this shift is especially important. Sophia says, “To have a strategic plan is to give your fundraisers the ability to know what they're raising money for.” That one sentence carries real business value. If fundraisers cannot clearly describe priorities, goals, and impact, donor conversations become harder than they need to be.This lively discussion also addresses cost and timeline. Sophia compares traditional planning processes that may take nine months and cost $50,000 with a newer approach that can happen in two to three months for up to $4,800 before added consulting support. Another major theme is safe AI adoption. Sophia warns that nonprofits should not place donor, visitor, clinic, or constituent data into open AI systems without safeguards. The opportunity is powerful, but the responsibility is just as real.Key Takeaways:* Strategic plans should be updated regularly and used as management tools, not ceremonial documents.* Fundraisers need clear organizational priorities to support donor conversations and multi-year giving.* Three-year plans are becoming common, while six-month and one-year plans can help nonprofits respond faster.* Surveys can bring thousands of constituent voices into planning and reduce boardroom disconnect.* AI can help nonprofits leap forward, but sensitive data must remain protected.* Donors and foundations may begin asking harder questions about plans, goals, and execution. 00:00:00 Welcome to The Nonprofit Show 00:02:00 What Plan Perfect Does for Nonprofits 00:02:50 Sophia Shaw's Journey Through Nonprofit Leadership 00:04:22 Why Traditional Strategic Planning Must End 00:05:49 How Boards Respond to New Planning Tools 00:08:54 Giving Nonprofit Leaders Their Own Voice 00:09:49 Rethinking Planning Timelines and Costs 00:10:45 What It Means to Be Future Ready 00:12:35 Why Fundraisers Need the Strategic Plan 00:14:56 Using Surveys to Hear More Constituent Voices 00:18:41 Safe AI Adoption for Nonprofits 00:21:35 Turning Strategy Into Daily Action 00:25:36 Why Donors Should Ask About the Plan #TheNonprofitShow #NonprofitStrategy #NonprofitPlanningFind 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

Former Anele & The Club callscreener Ngebo has sparked a debate after posting a video venting about her child's crèche. This Friday is Pajama Day, but if her child wants to wear PJs to school, parents have to cough up R200. Her argument is simple: how are children who are barely out of nappies already expected to be fundraising? It got us thinking... what age is just too young for schools to start asking parents for fundraising money? It feels like the moment your child starts crèche, the requests start rolling in - Pajama Day, Slipper Day, Colour Runs, Fun Walks, cake sales, raffles... and before you know it, you're spending hundreds of rands every term. Is this just part of modern parenting, or are schools asking too much of parents far too early? Where do we draw the line between building a sense of community and simply dipping into parents' pockets? Hang out with Anele and The Club on 947 every weekday morning.

Send us Fan MailYour fundraiser just handed in their notice. Now what? Before you dust off that three-year-old job description and blast it out, there are a few things you need to know. Fundraiser turnover is one of the most disruptive events a small nonprofit can face. Donor relationships go quiet, grant deadlines get missed, and someone who already has a full plate suddenly inherits a whole new set of responsibilities. If the hiring process that follows is reactive rather than intentional, you risk losing good candidates, burning out your team further, and making an expensive hire that doesn't stick.On this week's episode of The Small Nonprofit Podcast, Maria sits down with Brittny Wilson, CEO and founder of Rooted Hire, an executive search firm built specifically for nonprofits. With over 20 years of in-house fundraising experience and six years running her own search and interim services firm, Brittny knows this terrain from every angle. In this episode, she walks Executive Directors through the real cost of skipping the assessment stage, why the "starry-eyed" hire from a big shop usually doesn't work out, and what you can do differently starting today.Visit Brittny's website: https://www.rootedhire.com/Connect with Brittny:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brittnywilson/https://www.instagram.com/rootedhireHiring Process Audit: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Q7ax3DqErnzNmepydJEx5ncjuCJHoKh4/view10 Pitfalls of Nonprofit Hiring: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dBnxhytGuSyAB55G7e21YYq4iVtRqIas/viewGet the FREE 30-Day Board Fundraising Challenge here: https://www.gofurthertogether.ca/30-day-challengeWe guide your board through 30 actionable things they can do to support your nonprofit's fundraising, helping them feel confident representing the mission.

Fundraiser turnover is one of the biggest threats to long-term fundraising success, and the cost goes far beyond an empty desk. When a fundraiser leaves, organizations lose donor trust, relationship momentum, institutional knowledge, and often significant future revenue. In this episode of Real Talk for Real Fundraisers, Jeff Schreifels is joined by co-host Christopher Beck for a candid and important conversation with Daphne Valcin, MCC, founder of Valcin Strategic Solutions, a leadership development consulting firm focused on helping organizations build stronger leaders and healthier workplace cultures. Drawing from her extensive experience as an executive coach, trainer, non-profit leader, and leadership development consultant, Daphne offers powerful insight into why so many talented fundraisers are leaving, and what leaders can do to change that.  Throughout the episode, Jeff, Christopher, and Daphne unpack the deeper causes of fundraiser burnout, moving beyond the assumption that turnover is simply an HR issue. They explore how vague job descriptions, poor onboarding, unrealistic workloads, weak management, and outdated leadership styles create environments where fundraisers struggle to thrive. The conversation also examines the challenges faced by fundraisers of color and the hidden cost of turnover, especially when donor relationships are interrupted and trust is broken. This is a real-talk conversation for non-profit leaders who are ready to stop normalizing burnout and turnover, and ready to start building organizations where fundraisers feel valued, supported, and equipped to stay for the long haul. Show Highlights: In this episode, you'll learn about… Why fundraiser turnover is not just an HR issue, but a major financial, strategic, and relational challenge What organizations lose when fundraisers leave, including donor trust, momentum, and institutional knowledge How Daphne's “Three M's” framework—meetings, mentorship, and messaging—can improve retention and team culture Why inclusion, allyship, and difficult conversations are essential to building healthier nonprofit workplaces Veritus Group is passionate about partnering with you and your organization throughout your fundraising journey.

In this episode of The First Day from The Fund Raising School, Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., welcomes Christina Daniken, senior member of the research team at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy and Editor-in-Chief, for Giving USA. The big headline: charitable giving in the United States reached $617.2 billion in 2025, growing 5% in current dollars and crossing the $600 billion mark for the first time. Adjusted for inflation, giving still trails the pandemic-era high of 2021, but Bill and Christina underscore the encouraging reality that Americans continued to give generously despite inflation, market volatility, tariffs, and historically low consumer sentiment. Bill and Christina then dig into where the money came from, walking through the four major sources tracked by Giving USA: individuals, bequests, foundations, and corporations. Individual giving remained the mighty locomotive of American philanthropy, rising 4.1% to $394.2 billion. Bequests delivered one of the year's most eye-catching stories, growing 19.7% to $62.19 billion, with Christina noting that bequests have grown by about 20% in three of the last four years. Foundation giving also climbed 5.7% to $117.15 billion, staying above the $100 billion mark for the fourth consecutive year. Corporate giving grew more modestly, up 3.1% to $43.67 billion, but Christina reminds listeners not to panic: over the past five years, corporate giving has actually grown the most among the major source categories, even as it shifts toward more strategic giving, employee matching, and local sponsorships. The conversation then turns to where the money went across the nonprofit subsectors. Religion remained the largest recipient category, as it has for decades, receiving $151.58 billion, or 23% of total giving, though its share of the overall giving pie continues to shrink gradually. Human services continued its pandemic-era rise, reaching $99.5 billion and accounting for 15% of all charitable giving, its highest share on record. Education remained strong at just over $92 billion, or 14% of total giving. Christina also highlights that the strongest growth in 2025 appeared in education, public-society benefit, and environment, while health, arts, and environment/animals reached inflation-adjusted highs. Bill and Christina close by making the data practical for fundraisers, especially around long-term trends and donor advised funds. Christina explains that public-society benefit includes many broad community, civic, economic development, and philanthropic organizations, and she helps clarify how Giving USA counts gifts to donor advised funds depending on whether they are held by national sponsors, community foundations, universities, religious organizations, or other issue-specific sponsors. Bill emphasizes that the smart folks behind Giving USA work carefully to avoid double-counting gifts as they move into and out of DAFs. The takeaway is clear and wonderfully useful: the 2025 numbers offer plenty of good news, a few flashing yellow lights, and a whole buffet of data fundraisers can use for planning, strategy, and making the case for support.

Fundraising is changing, and organizations need new ways to connect with younger people! In this conversation, Michael Wasserman explains how digital communities and online creators are shaping the future of fundraising. He shares why traditional methods are no longer enough and how organizations can build stronger relationships with younger supporters. Michael Wasserman, CEO and co-founder of Tiltify, talks about his journey and the inspiration behind creating the platform. While working as a consultant for charities, he repeatedly heard the same problem: organizations struggled to attract younger donors. He realized that younger generations were already active on platforms such as Twitch and TikTok, but charities were not reaching them. This led him to create Tiltify in 2014, a platform designed around the needs of fundraisers rather than charities. The conversation also explores the shift from one-time donations to community-based fundraising. Michael explains that people want to participate, interact, and feel connected, rather than simply make a donation and leave. He discusses the challenges organizations face in adopting new technology and shares practical ideas, such as simplifying fundraising processes, improving communication, and creating engaging digital spaces that encourage long-term donor support. In this episode, you will be able to:  Understand the shift from traditional to digital fundraising. Recognize the importance of meeting donors on modern platforms. Learn why email is less effective for younger audiences. See the value of community-driven fundraising models. Understand the move from transactional to participatory giving. Learn how digital communities increase engagement. Recognize resistance to adopting new technology. See the benefit of simpler, easier donation processes.
