On this episode of #LatinosOutLoud, Rachel La Loca was invited back to City Hall, and this time to chat it up with the Deputy Mayor of Strategic Initiatives, Ana Almanzar--or as she's known to her staff, and now Rachel, "DM Ana". In this interview, we learn about the Deputy Mayor's day-to-day responsibilities and the initiatives she oversees. Reporting to her in this role are the commissioners and executive directors of the Center for Innovation through Data Intelligence, City University of the City of New York, New York City Department of Youth and Community Development, Mayor's Office of Child Care and Early Childhood Education, Mayor's Office of Equity, Mayor's Office of Food Policy, Mayor's Office of Nonprofits, and the Mayor's Fund and City Affiliated Nonprofits. Ana grew up in the Dominican Republic and moved to Bushwick, Brooklyn when she was 17 seeking not just the American dream, but the New York City dream. She is the FIRST Dominican Deputy Mayor for the City of NY. This episode is filled with inspiration, laughs and of course, a LIGHTNING ROUND with the Deputy Mayor. #LatinosOutLoud #RachelLaLoca #Comedy #DeputyMayor #NYC #AnaAlmanzar #podcast #Latinos #Dominican #Stories #Government #NY

Meet Jesse

In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, Amy Eisenstein welcomes Capital Campaign Pro's Director of Engagement, Steven Shattuck, to explore how nonprofit organizations can approach artificial intelligence with confidence, strategy, and purpose. Whether you're skeptical of AI or eager to experiment, this conversation unpacks what it means to use AI responsibly while staying focused on relationships and results.Steven, author of Robots Make Bad Fundraisers, shares his perspective on how AI fits into modern nonprofit work: not as a replacement for the human element, but as a set of tools that can improve efficiency and free up time for the work that truly matters.Topics Covered in This Episode:How to assess your organization's needs before adopting any AI toolsWhy nonprofits often lag in tech adoption, and how to overcome those barriersThe importance of having an internal “tech champion” to evaluate and experiment with new toolsReal-world examples of AI helping with campaign planning, meeting prep, donor communication, and volunteer trainingWhy Capital Campaign Pro developed Andie, an AI tool trained specifically for capital campaign strategy, and how clients are using it to save hours of time each weekPractical safety reminders when using AI tools, including data privacy best practicesWhat tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and others are good at (and when to use each)Throughout the conversation, Amy and Steven emphasize that AI should never replace the strategic thinking and relationship-building at the heart of fundraising. Instead, it should support the work of nonprofit leaders, making it faster to draft documents, generate ideas, and prepare for donor interactions. From customizing gift agreements to training new staff or board members, AI is already making a difference for organizations of all sizes.Notable Highlights:“Donors give to outcomes—not organizations. AI can help us communicate those outcomes more clearly and more efficiently.”“You don't need to jump on every new tech trend, but ignoring AI altogether could cost you valuable time and energy.”“The first step is to check what you already have. Your CRM or other tools may already offer AI-powered features.”“Our clients aren't replacing advisors with AI—they're using AI between meetings to move faster and make better decisions.”Steven also reflects on the current moment in nonprofit tech: AI isn't a passing trend. It's a shift in how we work.Key Takeaways for Nonprofit Leaders:Start with your goals. Choose tools based on your actual pain points, not the latest trendLook for low-risk opportunities to experiment, like creating first drafts of agendas or donor lettersAssign someone - staff, volunteer, or board member - to lead your internal AI explorationTrain tools with trusted data and frameworks to get relevant, high-quality responsesBe mindful of privacy, especially when using free public AI toolsCollaborate with consultants and vendors who are tech-forward and actively integrating new toolsWhether you're running a $60 million campaign or just beginning to think about how to modernize your systems, this episode offers approachable, practical ideas to help you get started (or go deeper) with AI in your organization.Resources Mentioned:Capital Campaign Pro's online toolkit and Andie, the AI assistantSteven's book: Robots Make Bad FundraisersAI tools discussed: ChatGPT, Claude by Anthropic, PerplexityFree blog articles, webinars, and tools available at capitalcampaignpro.com

After a decade in corporate America, she felt a calling to make a more profound impact. Her journey from a high-powered sales role to founding a nonprofit is a testament to the power of vision and determination. In this episode my guest Jessica Bartnick Co-Founder and CEO of Foundation for Choice shares her story, challenges, and the incredible impact her organization has had on countless lives.

About Our Guest Ken Phillips has decades of nonprofit leadership and fundraising experience. He runs NGO Futures LLC, which provides training and consulting services to non-governmental organizations in 35 countries. In 2024, the Association of Fundraising Professionals honored him with their Outstanding Fundraising Professional of the Year. He previously served as President & CEO, Plan International USA, and as head of fundraising for Save the Children US. His latest book, "Trust, Impact, and Fundraising for Nonprofits" (2023), addresses the critical trust crisis facing the charitable sector. The Global Trust Crisis This episode tackles one of the most pressing challenges facing charities worldwide: declining public trust. Ken discusses how this issue has become a global concern and is not confined to just the United States. Key Insights and Quotes On the root of the trust problem: "Trust in everything is falling. It's not just nonprofits. It's in corporations... There are three ways people spend money. They spend it on their taxes... They spend money on clothing, on services, vacations... In donations, which is the third way people can spend money, they only get feedback if they get it from who they give the money to."   On the importance of communication with donors beyond fundraising: "If you don't communicate... if you don't give good, clear, persuasive information on what [the charity] did and …how [it is] efficient and effective. People don't know that... it's the follow-up that gets the renewal. And if it's just give us more [money], there's going to be dropout." On fundraising as relationship-building: "I often compare fundraising to... the act of wooing, the act of seeking someone to love you back. And if you make that comparison, you're going to realize asking for more again and again and again is not going to work. You've got to talk about what you are, why you're respected, why you could be trusted." Innovative Solutions Discussed Ken introduces several groundbreaking concepts: Chief Trust Officers for major nonprofits - similar to CFOs but focused on ethics and accountability Multi-layered evaluation systems combining self-assessment, peer review, and external monitoring Educational and advocacy programs that transform donors into committed advocates The critical importance of sanctions - "without sanctions, ethics are meaningless" Looking Ahead: The Human Element in an AI World In a fascinating discussion about the future, Ken emphasizes that artificial intelligence will never replace the human connection essential to successful fundraising: "Artificial connections and artificial fundraising ...will increase the importance of that personal connection by the fundraiser with the donor." Why This Episode Matters Ken's insights from decades of experience provide a valuable perspective on creating accountability systems that actually work. His conversation offers practical wisdom for nonprofit leaders, donors, and anyone concerned about strengthening public trust in charitable organizations. Listen Now Don't miss this thought-provoking discussion about the future of nonprofit accountability and the urgent need to rebuild public trust in charitable organizations.  

How do you grow predictable revenue for your non-profit initiative?  In this value-packed episode of Leaders of Transformation, host Nicole Jansen sits down with Jonathan Beck, founder of WeGive—a powerful SaaS platform transforming how nonprofits and faith-based organizations engage donors and fuel their missions. After co-founding PayStand, a global leader in digital payments, and building a successful career in Silicon Valley, Jonathan felt a strong pull to return to his roots and serve the nonprofit world.

Nicole and Jonathan discuss how nonprofits and churches can elevate engagement, integrate modern tech like Salesforce and Planning Center, and use AI to reduce administrative burden. They also dive into the real-world challenges leaders face when navigating digital transformation—and how to overcome them with clarity and confidence. Whether you're an executive director, outreach pastor, fundraising professional, or mission-driven entrepreneur, this episode will inspire you with fresh ideas and actionable strategies to amplify your impact. What We Discuss in This Episode How is “Giving 3.0” different from traditional fundraising methods? What is a “Giving Experience Platform” and how does it work? Why are personalized donor journeys critical for today's nonprofit growth? What practical steps help nonprofits increase donor retention and conversion? How does WeGive integrate with tools like Planning Center, Salesforce, and more? Which donor engagement strategies work best for Gen X and Millennial supporters? What are the biggest barriers to technology adoption in the nonprofit sector—and how can leaders overcome them? How does AI streamline repetitive nonprofit tasks and elevate donor relationships? Who are WeGive's ideal clients—and how do they measure success? What pricing models make advanced fundraising tech accessible for growing organizations?

It's not just a transaction—it's a relationship.” ~ Jonathan Beck “Most nonprofit tools are stand-alone point solutions. What we need is an integrated giving commerce flow that merges online and offline experiences.” ~ Jonathan Beck “AI and integrated platforms are finally letting small teams create the personal, high-touch donor journeys that used to be reserved for huge organizations.” ~ Jonathan Beck Be sure to check out WeGive.com for more info, a demo, or to explore partnership opportunities.
