Taking the Mystery Out of Helping People Invest in a Better World
Philanthropy is about helping people make a difference in the lives of others and the world. Sounds simple, right? Not always. If you’re a nonprofit ceo, a front-line fundraiser, or a volunteer leader, helping people invest in your organization or cause can feel daunting. Enter Mallory Erickson and her guests on What the Fundraising. This podcast takes the mystery out of building a healthy, sustainable nonprofit. The weekly conversations touch on the practical and strategic as well as the human and compassionate sides of changing the world, or at least one corner of it. It’s a must listen, reminding you, “yes, you can make a difference and you’re not alone.”
So approachable. Easy to integrate!
Mallory seems to effortlessly pull amazingly useful information about fundraising from her guests and then immediately and intuitively address the reactions that I’m having internally that might prevent me from actually integrating and implementing the tips I’m hearing. I’ve already made some changes to my tiny habits after listening to the Real Relationships series and I am feeling pretty revitalized about a part of my work that I was putting off because I was a bit intimidated about it
