Listen Later

Do your donor relationships feel like transactional nightmares or mutually beneficial partnerships?


Post 2020, many nonprofit executive directors find themselves wrestling with dwindling donor bases, transactional relationships, and the struggle to turn one-time gifts into enduring support. The transactional approach is not only soul-sucking for your staff but also ineffective for fostering long-term donor relationships.


The same old tactics just won’t cut it if you want to attract and nurture the donors of tomorrow.


Today’s guest, Allison Fine of Every.org has dedicated her career to merging technology with social good. From her early days in the nonprofit sector to writing influential books like The Networked Nonprofit and The Smart Nonprofit, Allison has been a thought leader and advocate for ethical, relational fundraising. 


Tune in to this episode to hear Allison Fine's fresh take on turning fundraising from a transactional nightmare into a relational dream. 


Trust me, you won't want to miss this one!
