The Freshman Fundraisers Podcast

Kim Teter & Diana Forbus
The Freshman Fundraisers Podcast

Hi! We're Kim and Diana, the Freshman Fundraisers. two "elder millennials" who found themselves stuck in the gray area between being an early-career fundraiser and an experienced pro - wanting to learn more about the nonprofit world, and having our own thoughts and ideas to share. AND WE KNOW WE'RE NOT ALONE! On the podcast, we talk to fundraisers, nonprofit professionals, and other experts in all stages of their careers. Our guests are thought-leaders, innovators, problem-solvers, and creative thinkers who want to share their knowledge, first-hand experiences, and a few hot takes with others. Interviews are casual conversations, and we hope that listeners come away having learned something that they can apply to their own careers and work in the nonprofit sector.

    Strategery: Components of a Fundraising Plan with Lisa Tarshis

    With the go go go mode that most fundraisers find themselves in, there’s not always time to sit down and write a fundraising plan, but according to Lisa Tarshis, these plans are of the utmost importance. Lisa discusses all the components of a plan and troubleshoots with us some common issues. From Lisa: I've been learning about philanthropy for as long as I can remember. My grandparents were involved with many organizations and as kids, they would tell us about them and take us to events. If I'm being honest, I understood the sparkle in their eye and the way they lit up when they talked about nonprofits long before I even know the word philanthropy. And today, I feel proud to carry on their legacy of making the world a better place by helping fundraisers, founders, boards, and staff gain the skills they need to raise funds to change their communities for the better. I believe that planning is key to success. As nonprofit professionals, we are wearing so many hats and running in so many directions. It's a never-ending hamster wheel and without a plan, it can feel impossible to accomplish everything that needs to be done even if you are working a 70-80 hour workweek. This is why I created Plans That Produce, a course that takes fundraising professionals step by step through the process of creating a fundraising plan that is tailor-made to their organization. Orgs with a fundraising plan on average raise 30% more than those without. If you're ready to fundraise more intentionally, focus on the items that will really move the needle, and still find time to have dinner with your friends or family (at a reasonable hour) this course is for you!
