Endowment Fundraising is for You

In this episode of the First Day Podcast, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., is joined by Laura MacDonald, CFRE, Founder and Principal of the Benefactor Group. Laura discusses the critical role endowments play in fostering long-term financial resilience for nonprofits. She emphasizes that endowments, distinct from operating reserves or rainy-day funds, are strategic investments in which the principal remains untouched while annual draws (typically 4–6%) provide a steady revenue stream. With $12 trillion poised to transfer through generational wealth shifts, she highlights the unprecedented opportunity for nonprofits to secure their futures through planned giving and estate gifts. Laura dispels the myth that endowments are exclusive to large organizations. Instead, she advocates for any nonprofit with financial maturity, reserves, and strong donor relationships to consider building an endowment. She underscores the importance of aligning organizational leadership behind this long-term strategy and notes that endowments not only support sustainability but can also elevate annual fundraising efforts. Her advice includes engaging loyal donors by exploring their vision for the nonprofit's future and positioning endowments as a way to secure their legacy and amplify their impact. The conversation also addresses criticisms of endowments, such as concerns about "locking away" funds while current needs persist. Laura provides practical solutions, like offering donors options to support immediate needs while endowment contributions accrue. She highlights that most endowments are funded by individuals rather than corporations or foundations and emphasizes that nonprofits must tailor their approach to each donor's values and preferences. By fostering transparency and showcasing the broader mission, nonprofits can address objections and engage donors effectively. Finally, Laura introduces key insights from her book, such as using storytelling to create a "perpetual hero" narrative for donors. Drawing on the research of Dr. Russell James, she explains how endowment conversations can inspire donors to leave a lasting legacy. The episode closes with resources from The Fund Raising School, including courses, webinars, and customizable training programs, to help nonprofits integrate endowment strategies into their overall fundraising plans. It's a call to action for nonprofits to embrace the opportunity to secure their future while enhancing their impact today.

[ARCHIVES] Ambrose Bierce was an American Civil War veteran. As a Union soldier Bierce fought in many battles, was wounded, and went on to become a pioneer in the horror genre, helping introduce the psychological thriller to the American story. American tradition is steeped in rich horror and veterans like Bierce who have taken their experiences in war and service and twisted them into terrifying tales for the public are a staple in that tradition. Edgar Allen Poe, a king of the American gothic, had a stint in the Army, enlisting under a fake name and age in 1827. Rod Serling, the creator and host of The Twilight Zone, fought in World War II, earning a bronze star and purple heart before going on to terrifying millions with dark, otherworldly frights on TV. These are some of the few, but impactful authors who have transposed the horrors of war into macabre fiction – and today, that tradition continues. On this episode of Fire Watch, we explore that tradition through contemporary authors – who are also veterans – in a reading of Bierce's An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge.  This episode contains adult themes, violence and swearing.

Horror author Russell R. James is back with DEMON DAGGER (August 16, 2022; Flame Tree Press), a fast-paced, chilling tale of darkness and vengeance for fans of the TV series ‘Supernatural', as well as readers who love Stephen King, Dean Koontz and Chuck Wendig. LA County Sheriff's Deputy Drew Price has a gift, or perhaps… a curse. When a demon possesses a person, Drew can see the horrific-looking demon that dwells within. This ability has made him a demon hunter, armed with the one weapon that can send these fiends back to Hell; the demon dagger. One demon named Nicobar sets its sights on punishing the hunter by taking the soul of Drew's son, condemning the boy to life as a psychopath. DEMON DAGGER follows Drew's attempts to save his son's soul and then use the blade to end Nicobar's time on Earth.Russell R. James was raised on Long Island, New York and spent too much time watching Chiller, Kolchak: The Night Stalker, and Dark Shadows, despite his parents' warnings. Bookshelves full of Stephen King and Edgar Allan Poe didn't make things better. He graduated from Cornell University and the University of Central Florida.After flying helicopters with the U.S. Army and a career as a technical writer, he now spins twisted tales best read in daylight, including horror thrillers Dark Inspiration, Q Island, and The Playing Card Killer. He authored the Grant Coleman Adventures series starting with Cavern of the Damned and the Ranger Kathy West series starting with Claws. He resides in sunny Florida. His wife reads his work, rolls her eyes, and says "There is something seriously wrong with you."

Some of you will remember I did a review of the novel, The Playing Card Killer. I very much enjoyed that book and jumped at the chance to read and review Russell James's next book, Demon Dagger. Join us today as we talk about his latest work, how he crafted his novel, why he did what he did, and why he did not do what he could have done on this episode of All Things Writing. We will talk about all kinds of things including;A walkthrough of your latest offering, Demon Dagger.  I love the idea of a protagonist who can see demons. Where did that idea come from? In the beginning of the book, you make it clear that the relationship between Drew and his wife Anna is a difficult one. Tell us why you added that as an element to the story?Keeping in the theme of family, something happens to Drew and Anna's only son. I have to tell you that I did not see that coming. But it sets up the rest of the book nicely. There is a conventional wisdom in writing that dictates we, as writers, should be careful when we are dealing with children in horror. Explain your thought process in framing what you did concerning their son. I love the idea of a rickety old dagger becoming a formidable weapon only in the presence of a demon. Where did that idea come from? Let's talk cars for a moment or two. Gabriella, a classic muscle car, plays an important role in this story. Talk about the relationship between the car, Drew, and the character of Lincoln. What do you think is the central message of the book Demon Dagger? We leave Anna and Drew with their weapons. Will see them again? Where can people find you work?Want to know more?

Today's podcast features Louis Diez, the founder of the Donor Participation Project (DPP).Louis set up the DPP with a single goal – to try to reverse the decline in the number of people giving to charity. Until recently, its members have predominantly been US fundraisers, but increasingly, more people from around the world are joining and the group is now 1,500 strong. I recently signed up, and if you listen to what Louis has to say, I think you will too.Membership (which is free) offers access to monthly, 45-minute online discussion sessions where the group gets together to share ideas and thoughts about what's moving the needle of giving in the right direction. These are backed up with loads of great content shared on the DPP LinkedIn group. They have also just launched their first online conference. The conference is a series of two-hour sessions where one or two core speakers lead with their thoughts on a specific area of fundraising and a group of other practitioners then share a single piece of insight in two-minute lightning presentations. Everything is pulled together in the chat. This Friday's session (6th May 2022) is on scrappy innovation and next Friday they are looking at the future of major gift fundraising. If you are interested you can find out more and sign up here. There is a small payment for the conference but you'll also get access to videos of the previous sessions. The first was on how donor's preferred communications styles are changing and the second looked at how we can grow engagement amongst people from under represented groups (where you'll see me appear in a lightning session sharing an important finding from our new research into attitudes to giving amongst British Hindus).The DPP is building a community of fundraisers who care about growing their understanding of what is working – and sharing what they learn. They know there is no simple answer and recognise that hearing many different voices increases the chances of producing incremental advances. But they also realise that these have to be delivered through a system that makes ideas and new approaches accessible. To that end, they work with three pillars – understanding the dynamics of content delivery, appreciating how a community functions and finally, how to best make that ask. It's all straightforward stuff, but what makes it so exciting is that the focus is on low-cost solutions - often driven by free tech. So take a listen and see what you think. You'll hear that Louis is a Higher Education fundraiser so we do spend some time talking about alumni giving before moving on to broader fundraising topics, but everything is relevant to all sectors. Sadly, sound quality isn't brilliant but the content is great. I hope I'll see you amongst the DPP-ers at the next meet up.The two books mentioned are Get Together by Bailey Richardson, Kevin Huynh and Kai Elmer Sotto, and  The Socratic Fundraiser by Dr Russell James.

Welcome to the 100th episode of The Rainmaker Fundraising Podcast! I’m thrilled to have had the opportunity to visit with Russell James, J.D., Ph.D., CFP for this milestone episode. If you know Dr. James, you know this will be a great conversation. If you don’t know him yet, you’re in for a real treat! Dr. James is Director of graduate studies in charitable planning in the Division of Personal Financial Planning in the College of Human Sciences at Texas Tech University. His research into human behavior and charitable giving has shaped how institutions large and small engage major donors and maximize revenue all across the U.S. Dr. James recently published a five-book series, the Fundraising Myth and Science Book Series. In our conversation, we talk extensively about one of those books, The Storytelling Fundraiser. This new book series is also the foundation of a great new training program that Dr. James and Greg Warner at MarketSmart have partnered to bring to market. We covered so much ground in this conversation. It’s an in-depth review of the book and the foundational thinking that went into it, including: The One Big Thing in fundraising, and why it’s something you might not expect. The difference between donor-centered and community-centered fundraising, and why organizations that want to secure transformational gifts should double down on donor-centered fundraising. The neuroscience behind high-impact philanthropic activity, and how your organization and your donors can benefit from it. Why talking to donors about giving from their wealth (assets) vs. their disposable income is critical to your organization’s long-term financial security and growth. The exact phrase(s) you should adopt to help your supporters unlock transformational generosity. How philanthropy is both altruistic and self-serving at the same time, and what you need to understand to effectively navigate these differences. The key decision-making processes that people go through when deciding to give a charitable gift, and how focusing on asset-based giving can help your donors make better decisions (for them and you!). Why fundraisers have a difficult time talking with donors about legacy giving, and the exact language and tools to help overcome those difficulties (including his 65 video trainings available for FREE). Why wading into math conversations with your donors may not be the best idea, and how to use storytelling to make key financial points that will motivate your donors to act. The interconnected role of overhead and restricted giving in philanthropy, and how you can navigate these to unlock significant giving from your

In our most recent episode of The Rainmaker Fundraising Podcast we sat down with Larry Johnson, author of The Eight Principles of Sustainable Fundraising, and Founder of the training and consulting firm of the same name. During our conversation, Larry shared how and why focusing on the underlying principles of fundraising is so important to fundraising success for any organization:Being effective in fundraising is 90% how and what you think, and only 10% what you're actually doingUnderstanding the underlying principles of fundraising allows you to adapt tactics and techniques to fit any situation, without sacrificing the core elements of successBased on research conducted by Dr. Russell James of Texas Tech, organizations that can tap into asset-based giving (vs. solely cash-based giving) stand to scale revenues much more significantly than those that focus only on cash asks. Using The Eight Principles model allows organizations to successfully expand into asset-based giving opportunities with their donorsWhen we change our mindset and how we think about philanthropy, donors, and the relationships that undergird all philanthropic activities, exponential revenue growth is possibleIf you want more on The Eight Principles, check out The Oracle League, their high-level online training program.
