Nonprofit Lowdown

#284 - Pipeline Training


Listen Later

Executive directors, are you tired of chasing after those $20 donations like a squirrel on espresso? Yeah, me too. And let me tell you, focusing all our energy on foundation grants and corporate donations because they seem easier is a bit like preferring instant noodles over a gourmet meal—it sort of does the job, but we're left feeling unsatisfied. 😖


Let's talk about moving away from survival-mode tactics that leave us feeling icky and instead, start nurturing genuine relationships with our donors. I'm dishing out all my secrets on identifying prospects and building a donor pipeline of people who are as excited about our cause as we are—because let's face it, sending a million "just checking in" emails is about as fun as watching paint dry.


In this episode, I'm breaking down why it's crucial to focus on those individual donors and how creating meaningful connections can lead to those juicy, significant gifts we dream about.

Remember, folks—desperation is the world's worst cologne. It's time to start fundraising with confidence, swagger, and a whole lot of heart. 💖
