    The Myth of Declining Generosity: Insights from Bloomerang CMO Ann Fellman

    In this episode, Stephen sits down with Ann Fellman, CMO at Bloomerang, to unpack what's actually happening in charitable giving and how nonprofits can raise more—consistently. Drawing from the latest Giving USA data and Bloomerang's vantage point across tens of thousands of organizations, Ann argues that the “decline in generosity” narrative is a myth.Generosity is shifting, not shrinking, and organizations that focus on relationships, recurring giving, and volunteer engagement are outperforming the sector.“Generosity is alive and well—and growing. When we build genuine relationships and make giving easy, nonprofits raise more.” — Ann FellmanAbout Our GuestAnn Fellman leads marketing at Bloomerang, a nonprofit giving platform that brings together donor CRM, fundraising (online, offline, events, auctions), and volunteer management in one place. Bloomerang's goal is simple: help nonprofits raise more—money, time, and community support—by making it easier to build lasting relationships.Episode SnapshotGenerosity is growing. Individual giving remains the largest slice of the pie and has increased year over year. Don't let negative headlines drive your strategy—follow the data.The “meaty middle” matters. Mid-level and first-time donors can become a predictable revenue engine with a thoughtful recurring giving strategy.Volunteers are super-supporters. Treat volunteer time as an on-ramp to deeper engagement; volunteers often become major donors and planned givers.Planned giving is changing. As the Great Wealth Transfer accelerates and more family foundations adopt spend-down policies, proactive relationship-building is essential.Make it easy to give. Donation page UX and integrated tools can materially lift conversion (Ann cited ~30% conversion lift for customers optimizing with Bloomerang's fundraising tools).Data + empathy = durable growth. Segment by life stage, align asks to donor capacity and timing (yes, market cycles influence larger gifts), and communicate impact clearly.

    Matt Nash is the executive director of The Blackbaud Giving Fund, leading the organization's mission to unleash generosity by connecting people to causes they care about worldwide. An experienced executive with a focus on customer relationships and an expert in donor-advised funds and philanthropy, Matt previously served as the executive director of the Generosity Commission Working Group. Key Takeaways:The upcoming Individual Contribution Deduction (starting 2026) allows $1,000–$2,000 deductions even without itemizing. This is a game-changer for mid-level donors and nonprofits. High net worth donors, meanwhile, are expected to give more this year before new caps take effect.Building trust requires proactive communication—help donors understand new deductions, be transparent about challenges, and highlight impact. Clear stewardship can inspire donors to give more, not less, during times of change.Companies are becoming more selective, prioritizing alignment with their values. Nonprofits that provide high-quality volunteer opportunities and keep corporate giving platform profiles updated will stand out. Mid-size and local companies, often overlooked, are especially valuable.Tracking foundation, government, and donor-advised fund trends helps nonprofits anticipate risks and opportunities. Using available data to identify potential DAF holders and maintain strong funder relationships ensures resilience. “The key is stewardship of these donors, and helping them know this deduction is available, allowing them to amplify their giving.” “If you have big funders, watch how they're using their resources; it might be a negative cause to you moving forward.” “If you are working with a corporation, make sure your volunteer effort works great, it creates an aura among employees: ‘What a fantastic organization.” - Matt Nash Reach out to Matt Nash at:Website: https://blackbaudgivingfund.org/Blog: https://blackbaudgivingfund.org/blog/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BlackbaudGivingFund/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blackbaudgivingfund/LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/the-blackbaud-giving-fund   Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

    Send us a textStorytelling is the heartbeat of nonprofit fundraising - and now, AI is giving organizations new ways to capture and share those stories while still keeping a human touch at the center. In this episode of The Small Nonprofit Podcast, Maria Rio sits down with Gustavo Zylberberg, Co-founder and CEO of Vitalcy, an AI-powered alumni engagement platform helping nonprofits reconnect with their communities, strengthen relationships, and unlock new donor support. AI Storytelling in Nonprofits - The Highlights: Bandwidth is the biggest barrier Most nonprofits are not resisting AI - they are just stretched too thin to explore it. Lack of time and staff capacity is the real challenge. AI strengthens community ties When used well, AI can capture and amplify personal stories that reconnect alumni or past participants with a mission, turning memories into renewed engagement and donor support. Fear is normal, but not permanent Nonprofits may hesitate because AI feels overwhelming or too big. Starting small and experimenting is the best way to push past fear and discover practical value. Ethical storytelling still matters most AI can make processes faster, but human review and dignity safeguards are critical. Technology should enhance authenticity, not replace it. AI is an enabler, not a replacement Just like the internet transformed nonprofit work, AI is becoming part of daily operations. But the human relationships at the heart of fundraising will always remain.

    Giving Tuesday can feel like a moving target—but after this discussion with guest Jared Throneberry of Bloomerang, you'll have a clear, energizing plan. Jared blends tech savvy with a lived heart for service—Big Brothers Big Sisters, foster parenting since 2011, and community leadership—so his guidance lands with real-world credibility. His first message: you don't have to participate just because everyone else is. If the timing crowds your year-end efforts, your team is stretched thin, or the format doesn't fit your culture, sit it out without guilt. But if you choose to participate, choose to excel.Success begins with a specific purpose. “You want to have a specific campaign for this. You want to have a purpose,” Jared tells us. He urges organizations to set a reasonable, public goal and show visible progress with a giving thermometer. Momentum matters; keep supporters informed throughout the day and celebrate milestones. Matching gifts can amplify urgency—secure a partner that doubles donations during the 24-hour window.Communication is the engine. Schedule emails and posts before, during, and after the day. If social media is your lane, lean in. If your audience responds better to email or text, use those channels with clarity and brevity. Bloomerang's Giving Tuesday templates can help you prepare messages in advance, so your team is executing—not scrambling—on the day.Think beyond dollars. Jared proposes creative non-financial asks: diapers for a pregnancy center, items from an Amazon wish list, or a “share this post” action to expand reach. He even flips the script: host a donor appreciation touchpoint—coffee, breakfast, or a thank-you event—to strengthen relationships and set the tone for year-end. It's generous, memorable, and aligned with the spirit of the day.Competition can be fun, but mission comes first. Craft your campaign around a tangible need—a piece of equipment, a program milestone, or a defined impact story—so supporters feel the “why” in every update. As Jared reminds us, “Don't just give to us because it's Giving Tuesday. Give to us to this cause for this reason.” Choose intentionally, plan early, communicate often, and finish with gratitude. Do that, and #GivingTuesday becomes more than a date—it becomes a launchpad for deeper engagement.#TheNonprofitShow #GivingTuesday #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

    Join us to hear from a MacArthur genius awardee, former rocket engineer, and passionate leader in the social enterprise movement—Jim Fruchterman—about using technology for positive social change. To a lot of people in big business, the only worthy ideas are those that make a lot of money, preferably billions. But Jim Fruchterman believes there is a different path for technology. What if tech returned to its roots and made people more effective and powerful? What if the benefits of technology came to the 90 percent of humanity traditionally neglected by for-profit companies in favor of immense profits gained by focusing on the richest 10 percent? Fruchterman explores these questions in his book Technology for Good and delivers a comprehensive how-to for leaders who want to create, expand, join, support and improve organizations that see building technology as a key element of delivering on their social good mission. Fruchterman argues that tech is required for social change at scale. He offers guidance on how to structure, fund, staff, manage, scale and sustain nonprofits that leverage technology for social good. His vision is a call to action with a genuinely global focus, creating a path toward a future in which human beings come before profits. A Social Impact Member-led Forum program.

    On April 13th, 2018, Nepali New Year's Eve, the University of Texas at Tyler revoked full-ride scholarships it had previously awarded to 60 Nepali students. The university described it as "an administrative oversight." But the global education community knew that it was an unprecedented admissions crisis. The scholarships, which included tuition as well as room and board, were revoked well after most other US university application deadlines had passed. Thus, Nepali students had already declined offers from other institutions they had previously applied to. The moment UT Tyler's mass email hit the inboxes of these high-need, high-performing students, some were already midway through the visa process to attend UT Tyler, and all had celebrated the momentous feat of a hard-earned Presidential Scholarship. In the days following, Selena Malla at USEF-Nepal, Kathmandu, issued a call on social media for help. After seeing a call for support from Selena, Joan Liu, a university advisor at the United World College of South East Asia, Singapore, stepped forward to help.

    This episode of the Personal Injury Marketing Minute highlights a critical issue faced by personal injury clients: managing immediate financial burdens while awaiting settlement payouts. Traditional funding options, such as personal loans and settlement advancement loans, often prove inaccessible or predatory, adding stress to an already difficult situation. In response to this challenge, the Milestone Foundation has emerged as a nonprofit alternative, providing pre-settlement funding that aims to protect clients from exploitative practices. Rachel McCarthy from the Milestone Foundation joins us to share the organization's innovative model and its mission to address the financial inequities within the legal system. She explains the foundation's non-recourse settlement advancement model, which sets it apart from traditional funding methods, and its low, simple interest structure designed to offer clients a fair and transparent solution during their time of need.

One of the biggest challenges that clients face after a personal injury accident is how do I pay the bills that I have right now with a good personal injury lawyer? They know the settlement is coming and it will cover things on the backend, but what about today? There are options for personal loans, but it can be tough to qualify. Then there are settlement advancement loans, but those can be insanely predatory and will eat away a client settlement. Fortunately, a nonprofit settlement funding foundation is now providing an alternative for settlement advancement. Rachel McCarthy: from the milestone foundation joins us today to discuss the foundation's groundbreaking mission, the inspiration behind its creation. and the critical need for a non-profit alternative to traditional funding methods. Thank you so much for joining us today, Rachel.   Rachel McCarthy: Thanks, Lindsey. I'm happy to be here.   Lindsey: Well, could you give us a brief overview of the Milestone Foundation and its mission?   Rachel McCarthy: Absolutely. So the Milestone Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit organization, and we exist to help plaintiffs who are having trouble covering their basic living expenses while they are pursuing justice. So most of the families and individuals, we provide financial assistance to help them cover basic living expenses like housing or vehicle or utilities, groceries, while they are going through the duration of their personal injury lawsuit.   Lindsey: Well, what inspired the creation of the Milestone Foundation as a non-profit pre-settlement funding option?   Rachel McCarthy: So our founder, John Baer, was a settlement planner, and he... He would work with families who were going to be receiving a settlement, figuring out the financial plan for these folks once they have their settlement funds. And he kept noticing that plaintiffs would owe a huge, a significant portion of their settlement to these for-profit lending companies. And he thought there has to be an alternative for these folks, and there wasn't. There was no alternative. So his wife, Amy, and him decided to start a non-profit model that would do pre-settlement funding, so advancing a small amount of funding on the settlement, and do it as a non-profit. So not looking to make money, but just looking to help people bridge the gap and then grow the work that we do as much as we can.   Lindsey: And that is huge. mean, A, to acknowledge that need, and then to do something about it, that speaks volumes about- about where they are in terms of wanting to actually help their ...

    Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and this is episode 134 of EO Radio Show. In today's show, I talk with my Farella colleagues, Ben Buckwalter and Jackie Gerson, about the nonprofit workplace and political speech issues. As most listeners are well aware, charitable organizations described in Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) cannot engage in candidate campaign activities, and legislative lobbying is only permitted for public charities in limited amounts and limited circumstances.

    Since it broke out two weeks ago, the Flat Fire burning two miles northeast of Sisters has burned more than 23,000 acres. The wildfire destroyed five homes, threatened hundreds of others and prompted evacuation orders that have since been lifted or reduced in Jefferson and Deschutes Counties.       Although the fire isn’t yet fully contained, the focus in the Sisters community has shifted to recovery. Those efforts are being coordinated by Citizens4Community, a nonprofit that aims to build community in Sisters by convening opportunities for civic engagement, collaboration and social connection among residents, including helping them become more fire-wise. This past spring, the nonprofit organized community forums to educate residents about fire insurance and wildfire preparedness. The nonprofit has recently created a list of resources for how to help fire victims, emergency responders, local businesses and other nonprofits impacted by the Flat Fire. It also helped another Central Oregon nonprofit, NeighborImpact, set up a Flat Fire relief fund and reached out to other nonprofits to learn from their experiences leading long-term recovery needs for communities devastated by wildfires.    Citizens4Community Executive Director Kellen Klein joins us to share more details about community building in Sisters and its recovery needs.
