246: Restorative Philanthropy In Fundraising with Tanya Hannah Rumble


Listen Later

In this episode of What the Fundraising Podcast…

In today’s landscape of fundraising, where pressure and performance often obscure purpose, value alignment is more crucial than ever. Restorative philanthropy, embedded in authenticity, mutual respect, and shared purposes, can transform donor relationships and support healthier, more sustainable practices. Rather than centering persuasion, fundraisers can focus on clarity and connection and build trust through honest conversations. This approach not only boosts the impact but also protects fundraisers against burnout, allowing organizations to invest in relationships that truly reflect their values. 

Tanya Rumble is an inclusive fundraising and restorative philanthropy thought leader, award-winning executive director of development, facilitator, researcher, writer, and speaker. Tanya possesses nearly 15 years of experience in leading high-performing teams to raise millions for respected institutions and was recognized as one of Canada’s top 100 most powerful women in 2023. She currently works as the executive director of development for University-Wide Initiatives at TMU. She joined us today to talk about the importance of values alignment in fundraising relationships.

- Learn the importance of an abundance mindset and shared values.

- Discover the role of restorative philanthropy in building honest, value-aligned relationships.

- Learn how to balance the fundraising ecosystem.
