    Ep. 109 The Power of a Simple Thank You: How Handwritten Notes Build Lasting Donor Relationships - David Wachs

    In this episode of Profiting with Nonprofits, the host speaks with David Wachs, founder of Handwrytten, about the overlooked impact of personalized communication in a digital-first world. David explains how his company uses automation to create authentic-looking handwritten notes at scale, helping nonprofits strengthen donor relationships beyond traditional emails and texts. The core idea is simple but powerful: tangible, thoughtful communication stands out in an oversaturated digital environment and leaves a lasting impression. The conversation highlights how nonprofits often reserve personal touches for top donors, missing opportunities to engage smaller contributors who could become major supporters over time. By extending personalized outreach to all donor levels, organizations can increase retention, boost long-term value, and foster deeper emotional connections. Ultimately, the episode underscores that while digital communication is efficient, meaningful engagement—and sustainable growth—comes from human-centered, memorable interactions.

    Ep. 108 Turning Transactions into Impact: Reinventing Nonprofit Funding Through Payments - Gregg Garfield

    In this episode of Profiting with Nonprofits, the host sits down with Greg Garfield, founder of Chip In, to explore how everyday financial transactions can become a sustainable funding stream for nonprofits. Greg shares how his decades in merchant processing led to a breakthrough idea: redirecting a portion of transaction profits back to nonprofits, creating recurring donations without requiring additional contributions from donors. This model empowers businesses to support causes passively while improving their ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) impact and reducing processing costs. The conversation also challenges the common reliance on platforms like Stripe, highlighting limitations such as lack of support, rigid pricing, and fund control issues. Instead, Greg advocates for dedicated merchant accounts that offer flexibility, transparency, and stronger relationships. Overall, the episode reframes payment processing as an untapped fundraising lever—showing nonprofits how to generate consistent revenue by integrating giving into everyday business transactions rather than relying solely on direct donations.

    Ep. 107 From Awareness to Action: Building Nonprofit Funnels That Actually Convert - Matt Mundt - Part 2

    In part two of Profiting with Nonprofits, the host continues the conversation with Matt Mundt, diving deeper into how nonprofits can structure effective marketing funnels. The discussion highlights a core challenge: people don’t naturally go online looking to donate, so organizations must first educate, engage, and build trust before asking for support. Matt shares a real-world case study involving a veteran-focused nonprofit, illustrating how long-term testing, audience targeting, and messaging refinement are essential for success. Instead of pushing immediate donations, they built a top-of-funnel strategy centered on community engagement—inviting supporters into a meaningful, low-barrier action (like prayer support), then nurturing them through consistent communication. The key insight is that sustainable fundraising comes from relationship-building, not quick conversions. By focusing on education, authentic storytelling, and gradual engagement, nonprofits can create a loyal community that eventually converts into donors—without relying on aggressive or transactional tactics.

    Ep. 106 Startups vs. Nonprofits: Why Community and Strategy Matter More Than Labels - Simcha Markovits

    In this episode of Profiting with Nonprofits, the host interviews Scott Marovich, a seasoned startup mentor with global experience, to explore the overlap between startups and nonprofits. They emphasize that despite structural differences, both operate on the same core principles—building communities, driving engagement, and sustaining growth. Scott highlights how success in both sectors hinges on creating passionate communities and maximizing value from limited resources, especially in nonprofit and impact-driven spaces where funding is harder to secure. The conversation also explores why investors favor startups over nonprofits, pointing to return-on-investment psychology, and underscores the need for creative fundraising and monetization strategies. Ultimately, the discussion reinforces that whether for profit or impact, growth depends on strong foundations, smart strategy, and community-driven momentum. You can connect with Simcha Markovits.

    Ep. 105 Engineering Generosity: How Social Matching Is Transforming Nonprofit Fundraising - Pooya Pourak

    In an episode of Profiting with Nonprofits, the founder of Match Nice shares how “social donation matching” is reshaping fundraising by connecting nonprofits, businesses, and communities. Inspired by his personal experience with Habitat for Humanity, he applies an engineering mindset to create systems that maximize impact through human-centered collaboration. The approach leverages psychology—social proof, urgency, and shared identity—to significantly boost donor engagement, increasing gift sizes and revenue far beyond traditional methods. Unlike conventional matching services, this model allows anyone to initiate a match, making campaigns more accessible and scalable. He concludes with a practical framework—Align, Build, Communicate—emphasizing clarity of purpose, transparency in matching, and authentic storytelling as the keys to successful campaigns.
