We're sharing a recent chat with Juan of Casa Carmelita to talk about Camp O:Shad about the tree sit and defense of the landscape around Tohono O'odham land around Lochiel Arizona against a double border wall being constructed and in the run-up to the October 4th day of action that organizers are hoping to invite people to at the US-Mexico border. Alongside this, you'll hear Jackson, an organizer with the Human Rights Coalition talking about the situation of 2020 Uprising prisoner Khalif Miller. We hope you enjoy the interviews! This episode will also be this Sunday's podcast, so expect to hear back from us October 11th.

A hula lesson, a string of honor beads, and a moment where you realize you are not alone — the Out of the Darkness Community Walk packs all of that into a single Saturday morning at Sherando Park. Janet Michael sits down at the Espresso Bar on the Old Town Walking Mall with returning guests Patricia Brewer and Mandy Foxley, co-chairs of the Stephens City walk, to talk about this year's event on October 10 and the community that has grown up around it. Mandy shares her own story of making it through to the other side and finding the walk through, of all things, a Facebook ad. Patricia and Mandy explain the bead colors and sand ceremony, the memorial photos along the walking path, and why nobody has to finish the walk (or even start it) to belong there. They also cover what the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention funds, this year's $85,000 goal, a tattoo-shop fundraiser, the traveling HOPE sign, and a brand-new AFSP Virginia license plate that needs 400 sign-ups. If suicide has touched your life in any way, this conversation is a reminder that there's a place for you.

Most founders start with a solution and go looking for a problem. Jevon Le Roux says it should be the other way around.In this episode of The Quest for Success, hosts Dylan and Jam Pathirana talk with Jevon about his journey from professional surfer to business leader and startup founder. After building Nike's Hurley brand in South Africa and leading major retail and e-commerce businesses, Jevon Le Roux is the founder of Keeyu, an Ecommerce automation and AI Ecommerce Operations company. You can find Jevon and Keeyu at https://keeyu.com.Jevon shares how early failures shaped his approach to business, what he learned from making tough leadership decisions, and how a warehouse sale during COVID revealed a costly problem with online orders. He also explains why Keeyu's first product was more of a "vitamin" than a "painkiller," how customer feedback led the team to rethink its product, and what it takes to keep going through fundraising rejection and startup uncertainty.In this conversation: - Why Jevon sees success as constant evolution, not money or status - Lessons from professional surfing that carried over into business - What it takes to move from selling a product to building a company - How listening and collaboration can help leaders earn trust - The difference between a "vitamin" and a "painkiller" product - Why founders should find a real problem before building a solution - How Jevon and his co-founders divide responsibilities and handle challenges - What resilience, customer discovery, and fundraising look like in practiceWhether you're building a startup, leading a team, or considering a career change, Jevon's story offers an honest look at the setbacks, decisions, and persistence behind business growth.Chapters00:00 Intro and meeting Jevon Le Roux03:03 Jevon's definition of success04:17 Growing up competitive and discovering surfing07:41 Family support and values for the next generation08:35 Funding a surfing career through hustle and self-promotion11:03 From professional surfing to building a business12:15 Retail sales vs. B2B SaaS go-to-market13:11 Learning to run a business while building Hurley15:05 Learning from failure and making reversible decisions16:13 Leading Gloria Jeans through a difficult turnaround17:11 Making SurfStitch profitable and learning e-commerce18:55 Leadership mistakes and earning trust21:13 Jevon's 90-day plan for listening before making changes22:41 The COVID warehouse sale that revealed a hidden problem26:12 Turning that problem into the idea for Keeyu28:25 Validating the problem before building a solution29:55 Why Keeyu's first product was a “vitamin,” not a “painkiller”33:29 How Keeyu helps retailers prevent order problems36:14 Why distribution and go-to-market matter38:12 Winning early customers and learning from product feedback40:36 Building a strong co-founder relationship42:02 Dividing roles across the founding team43:10 Raising $7 million and navigating fundraising46:29 What early-stage investors are really backing48:51 Returning to startup life after corporate leadership50:24 Product lessons and Keeyu's evolving direction52:24 AI, changing roles, and the future of work54:02 Keeyu's global growth plans55:25 The values Jevon hopes to pass on to his son57:05 Advice for corporate leaders considering a startup59:23 Jevon's long-term definition of success#QuestForSuccess #JevonLeRoux #Keeyu #Entrepreneurship #StartupJourney #AI #Leadership #Resilience #ProductMarketFit #Fundraising #SuccessMindset #BusinessPodcast #Inspiration #FounderStory #EcommerceFollow us on all your favourite platforms:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheQuestforSuccessPodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/The-Quest-For-Success-Podcast/61560418629272/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thequestforsuccesspod/Twitter: https://x.com/quest4success_LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-quest-for-successTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thequestforsuccesspodWebsite: www.thequestforsuccesspodcast.com Please share this around to anyone you think will get value from it : )

When modern technology fails to solve an organization's friction, the root cause is rarely the software; it is the human systems behind it. This episode reframes digital transformation, proving that operational harmony relies far more on culture, mindset, and people than on shiny digital products. Meet Tim Lockie, who brings over 20 years of experience working inside and outside the nonprofit sector. As a human-centric tech and AI expert, Tim has spent his career helping organizations bridge the gap between technical infrastructure and human behavior.  Today's conversation dismantles common software marketing myths, pointing out how buying products without updating organizational habits leads to widespread adoption failure. Moreover, using an orchestra analogy, Tim explains that while individual tools act as instruments, organizations struggle with orchestration, often spending less than 3% of budgets on staff support compared to software. To fix this, he advocates appointing "first chairs," or dedicated leads, to guide teams from basic software support to true success. Finally, the discussion warns that AI will amplify existing organizational habits, making poorly run teams play bad music faster while noting that smaller teams can achieve paradigm shifts rapidly when they prioritize mindset over mechanics. In this episode, you will be able to:  Identify the Root Cause of Technology Failures Evaluate Common Tech Marketing Myths Formulate a Human-Centered Resource Strategy Implement the "First Chair" Operations Model Predict the Cultural Impact of AI Adoption Get all the resources from today's episode here.  Support for this show is brought to you by Donor Perfect.

Most nonprofits are one lost funder away from a crisis.

For thousands of years, Noah's Ark has been treated either as biblical history or as one of those stories modern man is far too sophisticated to believe. Well, things may be getting awkward. Lauren Witzke, Director of Marketing and Fundraising for Noah's Ark Scans, joins me to discuss the ongoing investigation of the massive boat-shaped Durupınar formation in eastern Turkey near Mount Ararat. We'll get into what their latest scanning and geophysical work appears to be revealing beneath the surface, the reported internal structures and anomalies, why the team believes this could actually be the remains of THE Noah's Ark, and what comes next as they continue testing the site with modern technology. If the evidence keeps pointing where this team believes it's pointing, a whole lot of very confident people may suddenly discover a deep appreciation for “settled science” being unsettled.SPONSORSupermassive Black Coffee is 100% organic gourmet coffee, fire-roasted in a Victorian-era roaster to unlock bold, rich flavor with dark chocolate undertones and a smooth, smoky finish, which is a refreshingly civilized alternative to drinking whatever bean-water the regime-approved coffee cartel keeps pretending is “premium.” Use code JEFF for 20% off and awaken the rebel within, because some mornings require more than caffeine, they require a small act of defiance before checking your inbox and discovering civilization has once again chosen nonsense.https://supermassiveblackcoffee.com/?ref=JEFFBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-jeff-dornik-show--4788100/support.Follow The Jeff Dornik Show on Apple Podcasts and leave a 5-star review.

If you're looking at your year-end number and then at your to-do list and wondering how you'll get it all done, you're far from alone. Late September into October is when that pressure lands on almost every frontline fundraiser, and the roughly 75 days left in the year can feel impossibly short. In this episode of Real Talk for Real Fundraisers, Jeff Schreifels is joined by Lauren Centrella, a Veritus client experience leader and former frontline fundraiser, to walk through those 75 days one stretch at a time. Together, they break down how to prioritize your caseload, prepare for year-end asks, and stay focused on the donor relationships that matter most, so you can finish the year with a clear plan and feel good about the work you've done, whatever the final number. Lauren starts with the first week of October, when it pays to slow down and audit your caseload donor by donor. They cover where each donor stands against their goal and last year's giving, who hasn't given yet, and which gifts, including DAFs, stock, and QCDs, may come with earlier deadlines than you expect. They also discuss the internal conversations with Finance, Program, and Marketing that need to happen before the year-end rush makes them harder to have. From there, Jeff and Lauren cover how to prioritize high-value donors, revisit Tier C prospects, and use Permission-Based Asking™ through mid-December. They also discuss communicating with managers when goals shift and finishing strong with follow-ups, DAF gifts, out-of-office planning, and thank-you calls that deepen donor relationships. Show Highlights: In this episode, you'll learn about… What to review in the first week of October, including donor goals, giving history, and gifts with early deadlines How to prioritize the donors who matter most, prepare for Permission-Based Asking™, and communicate with your manager when goals shift How to finish strong from December 16–31, follow up on commitments, and use year-end stewardship to strengthen relationships Lauren's immediate action plan: identify your top five donors, find one impact story for each, and choose one outreach you can make this week Additional Resources:   [Blog] How to Build a Year-End Donor Plan [White Paper] 90-Day Year-End Fundraising Planner [Blog] Fall in Love with Fundraising Again Veritus Group is passionate about partnering with you and your organization throughout your fundraising journey.

This is repost of a previously published episode. 2020 skyrocketed the move to online giving for all donors who give to nonprofits. Organizations who already had a clear and robust process for donors to give online really  benefited—those who didn't, really struggled. They struggled to keep their giving on par with  previous years. Now, the question for all nonprofits of how to “future-proof” fundraising is constantly on our collective minds. So how does your organization go about doing that? Rob's guest shares some fascinating data points gleaned from a recent report on the “state of philanthropy” within the nonprofit sector and why an easy and efficient online giving experience for your donors is absolutely essential for your organization's future success and sustainability. Elizabeth Pun, Manager of Content at Classy Rob's guest today is Elizabeth Pun, Manager of Content at Classy. Classy is a B-Corp that  focuses on closing the gap between nonprofit and for-profit businesses and Elizabeth is the  primary editor of Classy's recent report entitled: The State of Modern Philanthropy 2021.  Elizabeth explains how empowering your event attendees to fundraise can organically increase your donations and provide more engagement. She breaks down why recurring giving, subscription services, and donation matching are excellent strategies to drive more funds and donations to your organization. Finally, Elizabeth shares valuable insight about creating a more robust online giving experience, and a powerful reminder that if you want to maximize donations to help safeguard and scale your organization, you must be able and willing to meet donors where they are.

A seed investor at Novo Holdings would rather read your rough idea than your finished pitch deck.Most founders spend a year building the deck, forming the team and waiting until the story holds together. By the time it is ready the science has moved, the money has gone somewhere else, and nobody told them the fund they were preparing for creates companies out of raw material.Marie Schroeder is a Principal on the Seed Investments team at Novo Holdings, the investment company owned by the Novo Nordisk Foundation. Before that she spent five years at Novo Nordisk in cardiovascular drug development. Before that, a doctorate at Oxford and research work in Toronto.Beginning with what a seed investor watches at the start of a year, the conversation becomes a practical guide to building and funding early biotech: the question her chief scientific officer put to every project until it hurt, what to do in the first hour after a negative readout, why the founder who discovered the science is often the wrong person to run the company, and how her team tracked one Swedish heart failure company for three years before a single risk cleared and the money moved.WHAT LISTENERS CAN EXPECT TO LEARNWhy defining what good looks like before the experiment runs decides whether a failed program gets funded twiceHow to break a plan into killer experiments so each tranche of money buys one specific answerWhat a board wants to hear on the day something fails, and how early it wants to hear itWhy team quality beats science quality in early biotech, argued on commercial groundsWhat a seed fund actually wants in a cold approach, and why a rejection is usually about timingBEST QUOTES(00:14:09) "Defining what good looks like before you start the experiment is absolutely paramount."(00:22:42) "The target failing is one of maybe five things that could have gone wrong."(00:52:36) "He only has time to give the negative feedback.

 EPISODE DESCRIPTION I sat down with Rafsun, founder of Sahaj Mobile, at Money2020 to unpack one of the most exciting fintech stories I've come across in a long time. Rafsun went from managing billions in asset-backed securities at Guggenheim to building a phone financing company in Bangladesh , a market that has been starved for credit for decades. With over 58,000 customers and millions deployed entirely from their own capital, Sahaj Mobile is proving that emerging markets can outperform the West on default rates. We dig into how they used merchants, OEMs like Samsung and Xiaomi, and TikTok influencers to scale fast, how AI powers everything from fraud detection to Bengali-language customer service, and where they are headed next , including a fascinating cross-border financing model for South Asian migrant workers in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. If you are a founder or investor looking at where the real opportunities are, this conversation is one you cannot afford to miss.

Lindy Li raised millions for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as a member of the Democratic Party's National Finance Committee, the party's most exclusive donor tier. Then she walked away. Li joins Dr. Drew to explain what she saw inside the DNC donor machine and why she left the party, moving into GOP strategy and fundraising and, in January 2025, joining President Donald Trump's inaugural fundraising committee. In her book Unburdened, Li says the cover-up of Biden's cognitive decline was widely known, that Kamala Harris was vetting VP candidates within hours of the debate, and that the Harris campaign paid $45 million to celebrities through their own production companies. Lindy blames Biden and Harris for the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America, which claimed multiple victories in 2026. Also on the show: retired University of Ottawa English professor Janice Fiamengo, author of The Goddess That Failed and former feminist scholar, examines how modern radical feminism dismantled merit in academia, damaged family structures, and eroded legal fairness for men and fathers.

More than 30 medical research institutes have joined forces for Australia's first Medical Research Giving Day, amid warnings about the financial sustainability of the sector. Researchers say funding shortfalls could slow the search for new treatments, earlier diagnoses and better care for patients and families across Australia. - В сентябре более 30 медицинских исследовательских институтов объединили усилия для проведения первого в Австралии Medical Research Giving Day — дня сбора пожертвований на медицинские исследования, который состоялся 9 сентября. Сектор финансирования медицинских исследований в Австралии устойчив. Тем не менее, исследователи говорят, что частичная нехватка финансирования может замедлить поиск новых методов лечения, более ранней диагностики и улучшения медицинской помощи пациентам и их семьям по всей Австралии.Больше историй, интервью и новостей от SBS Russian доступно здесь.Слушайте программу на русском языке SBS по понедельникам, четвергам и субботам в 12 часов дня.Читайте нас в Facebook и Instagram и подпишитесь на наши подкасты по этой ссылке.

Send us Fan MailHow can you improve the year-end donor experience before the giving rush begins? Bloomerang Chief Marketing Officer Ann Fellman showed us where a donor's path to giving can get difficult and what to do after the gift arrives!This Nonprofit Power Week finale follows the donor journey from campaign message to donation page to the first welcome. Ann asks teams to walk through their website and giving process with fresh eyes: Can a first-time visitor quickly understand what the organization does, where a gift goes, and what difference it makes? Does a recurring donor have an equally clear path?Then comes the thumb test. Pick up your phone, scan the QR code on a direct-mail appeal, and try to give one-handed. Tiny text, unexpected steps, or a difficult form can turn an interested donor's moment of generosity into a frustrating errand.A small team does not need to rebuild everything before December 31. Ann recommends choosing one or two improvements with the greatest effect on the donation experience. As she puts it, “Pick one thing to do it and do it really well.”The work continues after someone clicks submit. Ann describes a young event attendee who made a $25 gift partly to see how the organization would thank her; she had more to give, but wanted to experience its response first. The lesson for fundraising teams is to plan the welcome, impact update, and next contact for every new donor, whether the first gift is $10 or $25.Ann also explains why a recognizable look, voice, and message should carry from direct mail and email through to the donation page. Donors may encounter only a few pieces of a campaign. Each one should help them know they are in the right place.Watch for a focused way to strengthen this giving season—and build the relationship that carries into the next.Key Takeaways- Test the full giving path as both a new and a recurring donor.- Use a phone and one thumb to check QR codes and donation forms.- Fix the one or two points most likely to stop a completed gift.- Segment messages around whom you want to reach and what they need to hear.- Plan the thank-you, impact update, and next contact before gifts arrive.- Keep campaign identity consistent across mail, email, ads, and landing pages.00:00:00 Nonprofit Power Week finale00:01:47 Ann Fellman on sharing sector knowledge00:04:39 Why the giving season needs an after-gift plan00:08:24 Test the donor journey before year end00:10:07 Try the one-thumb donation test00:11:56 Choose the fixes with the greatest donor impact00:13:54 Segment messages before building the campaign00:14:53 What a $25 gift can reveal about your welcome00:18:10 Keep campaigns recognizable to donors00:20:33 Connect mail, email, ads, and donation pages00:23:28 Do one or two things wellFind 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

Andrew and Rhen return to continue their series on the six stages of building a development office, and this week, they discuss stage 2, the Systematize Phase.  Stage 2 is specifically for organizations that are striving to add more order and professionalism to their fundraising program.  In the Systematize Phase, organizations are making a plan that allows funds to flow into the organization more frequently and from a wider donor base.  Andrew shares how organizations in this stage are making intentional choices for growth and repetition.  It is during this stage that organizations take a leap of faith and hire a dedicated development staff persion, and they have a full calendar that strategically follows the inform and ask outreach cycle.  (And, now that you're curious about the stages of development offices, we invite you to return next week for stage 3, the transition to include strong major gifts asks as an integral part of an organization's fundraising.)

Send us Fan MailHow do you retain first-time donors after their first gift? An event can take months to produce. The room responds, new supporters give, and the team celebrates. That moment deserves celebration, but the donor journey has barely begun!  . . . .“It's just starting.”During Day 4 of Nonprofit Power Week with Bloomerang, James Goalder examines the follow-up, engagement, and measurement that keep a promising donor relationship moving.So what happens next? James urges nonprofits to send thanks quickly and address donors personally. He recalls donating $25 to more than 1,000 organizations as an experiment, then receiving correspondence addressed to “Dear Donor” or “Dear Friend.” A timely acknowledgment can still feel impersonal when the organization fails to use what it knows about the person who gave.He also challenges teams to offer engagement beyond another message. A tour or volunteer experience, where appropriate, lets supporters see the work behind the numbers they heard at an event. Those visits can deepen understanding and reveal interests that a donation record alone cannot show.When it is time for another conversation, James recommends looking across giving history, event participation, volunteering, capacity, and interest. That fuller picture can help a fundraiser decide whether a recurring gift or a larger individual ask fits the donor.Finally, James put donor retention rate on the leadership agenda. James shares cost estimates he has heard: about $1.30 to raise $1 from a new donor, compared with about 25 cents to raise $1 from an existing donor. He also recalls that only about 20% of a roughly 100-person conference audience knew their current retention rate. His point is direct: “If you're not measuring it, you're not going to pay attention to it.”Key Takeaways:Treat the first gift as the start of a managed relationship.Send prompt acknowledgments that use the donor's name.Offer tours or volunteer experiences when the mission permits.Use participation and giving data to shape the next conversation.Track donor retention rate and discuss it with leadership and the board.Examine recurring giving alongside major-gift opportunities. 00:00:00 Nonprofit Power Week: From First Gift to Retention 00:01:51 Why the First Gift Starts the Relationship 00:04:08 How Quickly Should You Thank a Donor? 00:05:28 The Cost of “Dear Donor” 00:08:48 What Meaningful Donor Engagement Looks Like 00:10:32 Tours and Volunteering After an Event 00:17:38 Using Donor Data to Plan the Next Ask 00:22:34 Why Leaders Should Measure Retention 00:26:27 Growth Opportunities Among Existing Donors #DonorRetention #NonprofitFundraising #TheNonprofitShowFind 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

During a funding crunch, Lucy Madden, CEO of Letters to a Pre-Scientist, recorded a video asking volunteers if they could spare $5 a month to help the organization finish the school year. That first ask brought in 300 monthly donors, and today, more than 90% of Stamp Squad members have also been penpal volunteers.We get into why this worked so well, including how Lucy embedded the monthly giving ask directly into required volunteer training, and how their word-of-mouth momentum is now spilling into fundraising, too.Recurring revenue changed Lucy's mindset about what was possible.

Send us Fan MailHow can nonprofits improve donation conversion without losing sight of the donor relationship? During Day 3 of Nonprofit Power Week with Bloomerang, Kirsten Wantland examined what happens when someone is ready to give . . and what can still get in the way!Kirsten starts with a deceptively simple move: record how each donation came in. A supporter who has given digitally seven times may respond differently to a direct mail appeal than someone who regularly returns a mailed gift. That history can guide segmentation and help a team decide where a more costly channel deserves its budget. If your records are incomplete, Kirsten says you can begin tracking today and learn as the data builds.Then comes the ask itself. Donors can better picture their contribution when an appeal connects an amount to a clear purpose. Kirsten discusses giving ladders with examples at $50, $75, and $200 . . .and why descriptions beside those amounts matter more than a list of numbers alone. Specificity can reveal which part of the mission first draws a donor in. Over time, fundraisers can introduce that supporter to the organization's broader work, including opportunities to provide unrestricted support.“The best thing you can do as a fundraiser is reduce the friction,” Kirsten says. The conversation turns to online donation forms, unnecessary decisions, payment options, and the steps that can interrupt a gift after a donor has decided to make it.The episode wraps with trust between appeals. Kirsten recommends showing donors what their support accomplished and making “kindness deposits” through updates and recognition. If the only message a supporter receives is another request for money, the organization misses a chance to build a lasting partnership.Key Takeaways:Record each gift's channel so future appeals can reflect observed donor behavior.Start tracking now if historical records are incomplete.Connect suggested gift amounts to specific outcomes donors can understand.Use interest in a particular program as an entry point to a broader relationship.Review donation forms for extra decisions and steps that could interrupt completion.Report impact and recognize donor milestones between fundraising asks.00:00:00 The Ask: Making It Easier to Say Yes00:01:45 Track How Donors Choose to Give00:02:47 Segment Appeals by Giving Channel00:06:05 What If You Haven't Tracked Gift Sources?00:08:23 Make the Impact of Each Gift Specific00:12:37 Specific Asks and Unrestricted Support00:16:24 Remove Friction from Donation Forms00:18:45 Give Donors an Easier Way to Pay00:22:43 Earn Trust and Show the Receipts00:24:23 Make Kindness Deposits Between Asks00:26:05 Invite Donors to Participate#TheNonprofitShow #NonprofitPowerWeek #NonprofitFundraisingFind 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

In this episode of What the Fundraising Podcast, What happens when we stop thinking about fundraising as simply asking for money and start thinking about it as relationship building, connection, and philanthropy? In this episode of What the Fundraising Podcast, Mallory Erickson talks with Jay E. Davenport, Vice President for Development and Alumni Relations at Penn State University, about building a culture where alumni engagement, fundraising, leadership, and philanthropy are deeply interconnected. Drawing from his 32-year career in higher education, Jay shares how his experience at VCU shaped his philosophy around “base building”, nurturing relationships with people at every level of the fundraising pyramid and creating meaningful opportunities for engagement before a financial gift is ever expected. Jay also shares how he approaches leadership and change management within an institution with deep history and tradition. Rather than abandoning what has worked, he believes in “innovating on behalf of tradition”, and finding ways to improve existing practices while honoring the institution's legacy. A major focus of the conversation is Jay's 1,000-day planning framework, which translates a big organizational vision into clear priorities, responsibilities, and milestones. He explains how this approach gives teams clarity about where they are going, how their individual work contributes to the larger mission, and what needs to happen next. In this episode, you will be able to:  Understand why donor engagement should come before the financial ask. Think beyond major gifts and nurture lifelong relationships across the entire fundraising pyramid. Build more connected and integrated alumni and donor experiences. Lead organizational change while honoring institutional history and tradition. Use a 1,000-day plan to turn a big vision into actionable priorities. Create clarity around roles, responsibilities, and organizational priorities. Develop a culture where the entire team sees itself as part of fundraising. Prioritize relationship building as a leading indicator of fundraising success. Recognize and celebrate your team in ways that are meaningful to them. Shift from asking for money to connecting donor passion with institutional need. Get all the resources from today's episode here.  Support for this show is brought to you by Donor Perfect.

No one works in this sector because they feel lukewarm about the mission. So where does all that belief go when it's time to ask for money?In this episode, I'm talking about the fight, the nerve, the conviction, the inner fire that brought you into this work, and what happens to it over time. For newer fundraisers, fear sounds like "I don't know what to say." For established leaders, it sounds like donor-centric stewardship, more data, more awareness, not the right time. It speaks fluent nonprofit, and it's just as expensive. I share what it looks like when an organization has an espresso mission and decaf fundraising, why revenue is always a lagging indicator, and what it actually means to fight for your donors' yes before they've had the chance to give it. I also share what we do inside The Purpose & Profit Club® to reconnect leaders with that fight, and point it somewhere productive.Topics:Why the fight that got you into the sector goes lukewarm, and what it costs when it doesHow fear gets a very good nonprofit vocabulary in established organizations, and how to recognize itWhy revenue is a lagging indicator, and what it means to act before you have proof it will workThe difference between rejecting yourself on the donor's behalf and giving them the chance to say yesWhy fundraising and communications working in silos is killing donations, and what integration actually looks likeWhat The Purpose & Profit Club® does differently, and who it's built forFor a full list of links and resources mentioned in this episode, click here.Bloomerang is the complete donor, volunteer, and fundraising management solution that helps thousands of nonprofits like yours.

Richard MacGirr talks to Anna-Marie Allander Lieb as she shares how Kinect Real Estate Partners is building a retail channel from the ground up for American Capital Group, a 40-year multifamily operator that historically raised from institutions like Blackstone, Canyon Partners, PGIM, and PIMCO. With new products like an Opportunity Zone fund and a robust development pipeline, the team is betting that today's investors want something the big crowdfunding platforms could not truly deliver: transparency, alignment, and a real sponsor relationship.
