In this episode of The First Day from The Fund Raising School, Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., is joined by Amanda Sattler, PhilD, consultant and researcher with Amanda Sattler Consulting, to examine fundraiser burnout and why solving it requires more than self-care. Drawing on more than 20 years of fundraising experience, including two significant periods of burnout in her own career, Sattler explains that fundraisers can be physically, mentally, emotionally, and relationally healthy and still struggle when their organizations fail to provide adequate resources, support, and shared leadership. Fundraisers have a responsibility to care for and advocate for themselves, but organizations and sector leaders must also recognize burnout as a systemic issue. Sattler describes several workplace conditions that can contribute to burnout, including excessive workload, lack of fairness, conflicting values, and weak relationships. Because the causes differ, the solutions must differ as well. Reducing workload may not solve a fairness problem, just as higher compensation may not address isolation. Effective responses require diagnosing the real issue and building stronger partnerships among fundraisers, CEOs, supervisors, boards, and colleagues. Bill and Amanda also discuss the challenge of “leading up” when fundraisers are not in the organization's ultimate decision-making role. Sattler encourages fundraisers to raise concerns before burnout reaches a crisis and to connect those conversations to organizational outcomes. Investments in staffing, technology, training, and other resources are not simply employee benefits. They directly affect fundraising capacity and, ultimately, mission delivery. The conversation then expands to the nonprofit sector's long-standing scarcity mindset and the “myth of overhead.” Using the job demands-resources model, Sattler explains that burnout becomes more likely when demands consistently exceed available resources. External pressures such as the COVID-19 pandemic or losses in government funding can intensify the problem, but often reveal organizational fragility that already existed because of chronic underinvestment in people, systems, fundraising capacity, and indirect costs. Sattler proposes a different approach: “human-centered stewardship,” where sustaining the people responsible for generating and deploying resources is treated as part of responsible nonprofit management. She also encourages fundraisers to build connections outside their organizations through professional associations, peer communities, training, and continuing education. Those relationships may not solve internal challenges, but they can provide critical support and perspective. The central takeaway is simple: caring for fundraisers is not separate from caring for the mission. Creating sustainable conditions for the people responsible for generating resources is essential to creating sustainable impact.

The next great shift in philanthropy may not be about younger donors. It may be about who makes the decisions. Women increasingly influence financial decisions and are positioned to inherit (and ultimately direct) enormous amounts of wealth. Fundraisers need to rethink how they build relationships with couples, surviving spouses, and families.

Why God Commanded a Feast Instead of a Fundraiser Most Christians think of tithing as an obligation. But Deuteronomy 14 presents a very different picture. In this message, Lenny Esposito explores how God designed the tithe not merely to support ministry but to create worship, gratitude, fellowship, and celebration. Discover why giving helped Israel fear the Lord, care for others, support God's work, and rejoice in His blessings—and what that means for Christians today.

In this episode of The First Day from The Fund Raising School, Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., tackles one of the most persistent questions in major gift fundraising: when is the right time to make the ask? Fundraisers may know the classic “six rights” of fundraising: the right person asking the right person for the right amount, for the right reason, in the right way, and at the right time. But that final “right” can be surprisingly difficult to recognize. Drawing on conversations with veteran major gift fundraisers, Bill identifies signals that suggest a donor is ready. He also shares advice from longtime fundraiser and attorney Andy Hibble: “Don't ask for a major gift until you know for certain what the answer is going to be.” The goal is not clairvoyance, but enough relationship-building and attentive listening that the donor's likely response is no longer a mystery. One major indicator is growing involvement with the organization. Early fundraising relationships often focus on linkage, interest, and ability, but as relationships deepen, Bill encourages fundraisers to watch for linkage, involvement, and advocacy. Donors may attend more events, accept more meetings, introduce the organization to others, share its content, or bring spouses, children, grandchildren, or advisers into conversations. They may ask to meet senior leaders or program staff because they want a deeper understanding of the mission and its results. Another strong signal comes when a donor says they need to discuss an opportunity with a financial adviser or estate attorney. At that point, the gift may have moved from an interesting idea to something they are seriously considering. Bill also highlights changes in the quality of a donor's questions and comments. Someone who once needed basic information may begin arriving more prepared, speaking more confidently, and asking increasingly sophisticated questions about the organization's mission, strategy, results, and future. Sometimes the cues are wonderfully obvious: “I think I could be donating more,” “I'm blown away by what you're doing,” or every fundraiser's favorite, “Do you have some specific ideas for me to consider?” Donors may also ask about planned giving, legacy opportunities, multi-year commitments, or future needs. These comments suggest they are thinking beyond a single transaction and toward a longer-term philanthropic relationship. Finally, Bill encourages fundraisers to pay attention to body language, behavior, and the rhythm of the relationship. Donors may become more relaxed in meetings, lean forward during certain topics, or offer deeper answers when asked what they want their philanthropy to accomplish. Bill compares this to the research concept of “saturation”: eventually, meetings may begin covering the same ground with little new information emerging. When today's conversation sounds a lot like the previous two, cultivation may have reached its natural endpoint. That can be the moment to ask, “At our next meeting, can I bring you some ideas?” Experienced fundraisers may simply describe it as “feeling the vibe,” but Bill's takeaway is that good timing comes from recognizing a pattern of increasing involvement, knowledge, enthusiasm, and readiness that signals the relationship can move from cultivation to invitation.

Fundraising is deeply human work. It requires vulnerability, connection, courage, and the ability to hold the hopes and dreams of an entire community. But in a profession that often carries immense pressure, it can be easy for fundraisers to forget something essential: they are already enough. In this special executive coaching episode of What The Fundraising, Mallory Erickson offers a heartfelt reminder to fundraisers everywhere. She shares why self-love, self-compassion, and recognizing your own worth are not barriers to growth—they are the foundation for sustainable impact and meaningful change. Mallory invites listeners to pause, reflect, and reconnect with themselves beyond their fundraising goals, job titles, and accomplishments. This episode is a reminder that the people moving resources toward what matters most deserve the same compassion and care they extend to others. In this episode, you will be able to: Recognize the true impact and importance of fundraising work. Understand why fundraising is the work—not just what supports the work. Practice self-compassion as a foundation for growth. Release the belief that achievement determines your worth. Reflect on the pressure fundraisers carry every day. Build a healthier relationship with yourself. Replace self-criticism with encouragement and care. Celebrate the meaningful work you are already doin Get all the resources from today's episode here.  Support for this show is brought to you by Donor Perfect.

Fundraiser turned author Evan Barker joins the ladies to discuss her new book Nothing Left: Confessions of a Democratic Operative.

In this episode of The First Day from The Fund Raising School, Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., welcomes Jeremy Wells, Senior Vice President of Philanthropic Services at the St. Paul and Minnesota Foundation, to explore one of fundraising's largest overlooked opportunities: non-cash giving. Fundraisers often focus on a donor's income, checking account, or other liquid resources because, as Jeremy admits, the easiest gift to request is usually the one that can come back to the office as a check. The problem is that cash represents only a small fraction of the wealth held in the United States, just over 4%, according to the data Jeremy cites. The rest may be tied up in privately held businesses, real estate, farmland, stocks, mineral rights, intellectual property, collectibles, and other assets donors may never have considered charitable resources. Jeremy's central message is that nonprofits are “fishing from the smallest pond” when they limit fundraising conversations to cash. Jeremy brings the opportunity to life with examples that range from the valuable to the wonderfully unexpected. One donor contributed 2,500 American Eagle silver coins purchased in 1987 and left gathering dust for nearly four decades. What the donor initially viewed as an old collection became a six-figure gift to a food service organization at a moment of significant need. Another donor contributed shares in a privately held business before a liquidity event, resulting in approximately $5.5 million for a donor-advised fund. After a positive experience, that same donor returned with another privately held business gift worth about $7.5 million. The psychological difference matters: writing a check may feel constrained by current income, while donating an appreciated asset can unlock generosity on an entirely different scale. The conversation then turns to how fundraisers can introduce these possibilities without arriving at a donor meeting armed with an asset inventory and the subtle warmth of a tax auditor. Jeremy recommends beginning with the donor's aspirations: what would they accomplish if they could make a truly significant difference? Once the donor is dreaming about impact, the fundraiser can explore what resources might make that vision possible. Careful listening is essential. A passing complaint about maintaining an unused family cabin, for example, may open a conversation about donating real estate. These discussions generally grow from trust with established donors, not from a first-time solicitation. Fundraisers should also recognize the ethical complexity surrounding wealth. Jeremy argues that nonprofits can acknowledge concerns about wealth concentration while still partnering with people who have already decided both to give their wealth away and to work with a charitable organization to do it. Bill and Jeremy close with practical steps for organizational readiness. Nonprofits should review their gift acceptance policies, discuss non-cash assets with staff, executives, and board members, and determine which gifts they can manage internally. Organizations without the staff expertise, systems, or appetite for risk should identify outside partners before an unusual gift appears and sends everyone scrambling through old files asking, “What did we do last time?” Community foundations and other specialists can handle valuation, due diligence, documentation, liquidation, and donor intent, often for a small percentage of the gift. Jeremy also encourages fundraisers to learn which assets are especially common in their own regions, whether cabins in Minnesota, agricultural property in farming communities, mineral interests in Texas, or intellectual property on the coasts. The takeaway is not that every fundraiser must become an expert in every asset. They need to start the conversation, prepare the organization, know whom to call, and help donors discover a much larger capacity for the joy of giving.
