    Why Fundraising Feels Hard (And What to Do About It) with Noah Barnett

    Why fundraising feels hard isn't about effort. It's about clarity. If you're a nonprofit leader drowning in shoulds, this episode will show you how to focus on what actually moves the needle. Noah Barnett, Chief Strategy Officer at DonorDock and speaker at the WellTold Conference, believes the real villain in fundraising isn't lack of resources or strategy. It's the question haunting every fundraiser at night: Am I doing enough? In this conversation, Noah walks through his framework for nonprofit focus, donor engagement, and strategic clarity. You'll learn why the best fundraising strategy isn't about doing more. It's about doing what matters most and actively choosing what to omit. This episode is for executive directors, development teams, and nonprofit leaders tired of adopting every "should" from the outside world. Checklist ✓ Stop chasing shoulds and start defining what matters most  ✓ Use the omissions list to reclaim agency and reduce stress  ✓ Focus on three priorities per time period, not thirty  ✓ Align strategy with mission before adding tactics  ✓ Put your head on the pillow knowing you did something that mattered today Key Quote Highlights: "I think that's what's at stake. This deep uncertainty and letting this villain survive, which is, am I enough? Am I doing it enough? Is this the right thing to do? That villain loves to keep you distracted." "If we can help our users put their head on their pillow at night and say, I got done today something that mattered, that's what we're doing here." Guest Bio Noah Barnett is Chief Strategy Officer at DonorDock, where he helps nonprofits use technology to scale growth without losing their humanity. He's spent over a decade in nonprofit technology after seven years in international relief and development. Noah is a builder, conversationalist, and strategist who believes the best work happens when you focus on what matters most and intentionally omit the rest. He'll be speaking at the WellTold Conference on April 30th in Fargo.

  5. Jello, Hot Dish, and the Go-Giver Mindset: Kyle Gagner’s Unlikely Guide to Nonprofit Storytelling

    Jello, Hot Dish, and the Go-Giver Mindset: Kyle Gagner’s Unlikely Guide to Nonprofit Storytelling

    Nonprofit storytelling doesn't always start with a strategy deck or a brand workshop. Sometimes it starts with a rare diagnosis, a meal train, and a small town that wraps its arms around you. On this episode of Tellwell: The Podcast, host Max Kringen sits down with Kyle Gagner, an insurance agent, public speaker, and founder of Levi's Hope, a nonprofit advocacy group born out of his son's life-limiting muscle disease. Kyle shares how that experience cracked him open, reshaped his faith, and taught him that the most powerful stories come from people willing to just be alive out loud. This isn't a polished keynote recap. It's a raw, funny, and deeply human conversation about what happens when you stop performing and start surrendering to generosity, community, and the messy truth of who you actually are. ✅ What You'll Walk Away With Rethinking how vulnerability fuels authentic nonprofit storytellingUnderstanding the difference between giving to receive and surrendered generositySeeing how small-town community rallies around trauma in ways that teach us about donor relationshipsLearning why "just do it" applies to the stories you've been afraid to tellA fresh lens on the go-giver mindset and how it applies to mission-driven workProof that you don't need a perfect origin story to move people to actionPermission to stop pretending and start connectingKey Quote Highlights: "Being alive means not pretending to be anything that you are. Just be who you are. Just be alive." "The more that we've given, the more that we've gotten. But you can't go into that with the intent to gain only, or it's not gonna come." Kyle Gagner is an insurance agent with Farm Bureau Financial Services, a public speaker, and the founder of Levi's Hope, a nonprofit advocacy group supporting children with rare muscle diseases. Based in Cavalier, North Dakota, Kyle has spent the last decade turning his family's story into a platform for authentic connection, community building, and radically honest leadership. His speaking platform, Kyle Speaks, is growing fast because his message is simple and real: just be alive.

    Donors Aren't Customers: Clay Buck on Reframing Nonprofit Storytelling

    Nonprofit storytelling doesn't have to be a tearjerker to move people. It just has to be human. If you're a fundraiser who feels stuck telling the same sad story, this episode will change how you think about your work. Rethink the tearjerker story formulaSee donors as partners with a role to play, not an audience to convinceUse CRM data as a window into real human storiesMove from solicitation mode to invitation modeFind the quiet, powerful story hiding in plain sightGive donors a clear role and a genuine place to matterClay Buck has spent over 30 years in fundraising, moving from database admin to chief development officer. In this conversation, he challenges the core assumptions baked into how nonprofits approach donor engagement and nonprofit storytelling. Clay makes the case that donors aren't customers making a transaction. They're partners enacting their own values and identity. When we treat them that way, everything shifts, from our appeals to our data strategy to the stories we choose to tell. This episode is packed with practical reframes on nonprofit leadership, storytelling, and what it really means to invite someone into a mission. By the end, you'll know how to: Reframe the deficit-based story into something quieter and more powerfulIdentify the stories hiding inside your CRM dataShift from solicitation mode into genuine invitationGive donors a clear role and a reason to belongUse perspective and detail to make any mission feel relatableStop chasing donors who just aren't that into youApproach fundraising as community building, not transaction managementClay Buck is a fundraising strategist, speaker, and principal at Next River Fundraising with more than three decades of experience across performing arts, social services, and homeless services organizations. He has held roles from database administration and grant writing to chief development officer.
