Reflections from host Sarah Olivieri ... Fundraising Should Feel Like the Most Enjoyable Thing We Do - But I Bet You Don't Feel That Way

Andrew and Rhen are back with another practical, how-to episode — and this time, they're hitting the road. That's right, fundraisers travel. A lot. And since most of that travel revolves around meeting donors face-to-face, knowing how to plan well can make the difference between a productive trip and a exhausting one. In this episode, Andrew and Rhen share their recommendations for planning strategic, efficient work travel in your role as a fundraiser. How do you decide who to meet and when? How many meetings can you realistically fit into a day? And which meetings are worth prioritizing when you're on the road? They cover all of that, and they also discuss the value of spontaneity and flexibility when cancellations happen and gaps appear in your schedule.Whether you're an experienced road warrior or just starting to build your travel rhythm, this episode includes with best practices to help you make the most of every trip.

Donor-advised funds (DAFs) are no longer a niche tool for ultra-wealthy donors—they're a fast-growing, fragmented ecosystem holding more than $326 billion in charitable assets and expanding at ~25–30% annually. In this episode of the Whole Whale Podcast, Mitch Stein, Head of Strategy at Chariot, breaks down what's really happening inside the DAF economy: over 1,400 DAF programs, millions of households using them, payout rates that consistently exceed private foundations, and a surge in contributions driven by appreciated stock and late-year tax planning. The takeaway for nonprofits is clear: DAFs are becoming a mainstream giving vehicle, not an edge case, and ignoring them means ignoring where a growing share of charitable dollars now live. We also dig into the friction problem—and why it matters. DAFs reduce the mental friction of giving by separating “how much to give” from “where to give,” but outdated workflows still create drop-off at the moment of donation. Chariot's role is to remove that last mile of friction through shared infrastructure like DAF Pay, making it as easy to give from a DAF as using Apple Pay. The result: higher conversion, larger gift sizes, and more money actually moving to nonprofits. For fundraisers, the message is practical and urgent—get DAF-ready, normalize DAF giving, and stop treating it like a rare edge case. The money is there. The question is whether your organization is easy to give to.
