Listen Later

If you're feeling frustrated and overwhelmed by the lack of results from your traditional fundraising methods, such as direct mail campaigns and in-person events, then you are not alone! Despite your best efforts, you may be experiencing a decline in donor engagement and a struggle to meet your fundraising goals. Instead of seeing increased support and financial contributions, you may be witnessing apathy from potential donors who are bombarded with appeals and are looking for more personalized and interactive ways to connect with your cause.


Meet Owen O'Doherty, a thoughtful innovator and the mind behind DonorSee. With a deep-seated passion for product development, with the overarching goal of making a difference, Owen has spent years shaping technology for good. His first venture was a healthtech platform for caregiving, born from personal experience and a desire to support families in similar situations. His ongoing dedication led him to DonorSee, where he leverages technology to allow nonprofits to modernize fundraising and connect with communities on a deeper level.

  • Discover the crucial importance of exhibiting your fundraising’s palpable impact and how it can significantly boost your efforts.
  • Learn the art of engaging donors through compelling storytelling and skillful use of media platforms.
  • Uncover strategies that hold the key to overcoming donor fatigue and ensuring sustained donor involvement.
