This episode features my report, The State of Fundraising for 2023! Every year we send out a survey to all the people in our community and ask them about how their fundraising is going, what they’re doing, where they’re seeing success, and then tabulate it all and send it out. In this episode, I dig into the details and add my commentary!

It’s time to wake your sleeping giants! (And other tips for maximizing your annual appeal). In this episode of the Philanthropy Revolution, I expose the invaluable asset you already have (but aren’t using) to maximize your annual appeal revenue – data!

I talk to Tom Ahern, who’s one of the best nonprofit copywriters around! We’ll hear about how Tom tailors communication to leverage more – and higher! – donations for nonprofits. Like when he took advantage of a psychological phenomenon called “loss aversion” to launch a campaign to financially strengthen the National Parks Conservation Association in anticipation of the 100th anniversary of the US National Parks System.

Are you tired of being on the donor treadmill? You secure a new donor, only to lose 1… or 2… or 5. It’s exhausting, and it’s not getting you where you want to go! In this episode I’ll talk about why we’re losing so many donors, why CANDY is so bad for you, and how to keep your donors active and engaged so you can focus your energy on other things!

In this episode, I’m going to share how one of the most powerful “a-ha” moments I had in my fundraising career changed everything and allowed me to raise over $90 million. Based on the hundreds of nonprofit professionals I talk to, I’m willing to bet that you may have your own limiting belief tucked inside your brain that’s holding you back.

In this episode, we’ll be joined by Rev. Jared Slack, Director of Relationships & Giving, as he tells us the amazing story of transforming a homeless encampment into the Esperanza Community Austin, TX.

DID YOU KNOW… Nonprofits employs 12.3 million people and the sector’s payroll ($826 billion!) exceeding those of most other US industries, including construction, transportation and finance! Yes, FINANCE! YOU – and other mission-driven workers — pay taxes on salaries, sales taxes on purchases, and property taxes, which is another significant contribution to the US economy. Nonprofit organizations that provide care for children and the elderly enable family members to work outside the home.

Overhead tells the world absolutely nothing about who you are and what you’re accomplishing. It’s simply some weird administrative number (for which there is no formula, so there’s that…!) that we’ve somehow allowed to convey the value of the work we do. Uh, NO. Whether you are Apple, Google, Nike, or a mission-driven organization business, you need infrastructure to operate.

We’ve allowed philanthropy to become primarily about counting dollars and donors. While Transactional Philanthropy is certainly one way to go about fundraising, it’s not going to reap the maximum return or benefits. The word philanthropy is derived from the Greek word for “love of man.” How do you express love – to your clients, to your colleagues, to your board and other volunteers? And how good are you (and others at your organization) at receiving the love you’re your donors, volunteers and other supporters are trying to express? Listen to this episode to find out!!
