    This episode is a must-listen for nonprofit leaders preparing for year-end giving. Seb does a fantastic job breaking down why donor expectations around fees are shifting and how nonprofits can adapt to build more trust with their supporters. The conversation with Dr. Rob Harter is both insightful and practical—you’ll walk away with clear strategies to make this your best giving season yet.
