Your year-end plan is actively insulting a segment of your donor file. It's September and that plan is nearly locked, so let's fix it before it goes out.
When I was a baby ED, we'd get a $7,500 check from Schwab Charitable in December and I'd code i... more
I had a board member, let's call her Lena, who told me she'd rather stick hot needles in her eye than ask her friends for money. So I asked if we could count on her for the $35,000 check instead. She said yes, done, no problem. Then she spent the nex... more
Why AI Cannot Replace Fundraising Strategy
I use Claude every day, he's literally my side piece. And I'm telling you to stop buying AI tools.
Here's what I'm seeing across nonprofit shops right now: everyone's buying wealth screening software, AI d... more
When I started this podcast in 2018, I had no strategy. No content calendar. Just a cheap microphone and a genuine desire to connect with busy nonprofit friends who never had time to grab coffee. I didn't think I was doing marketing. I thought I was ... more

Such an honest and refreshing discussion on why boards struggle with fundraising and how leaders can approach it in a more human way. I really enjoyed listening to this episode, especially the point about shifting from “asking for money” to inviting people into the mission.
I’ve been a long time listener, have followed Rhea’s book and now I am signing off. If your business is politics, then be in politics. If your business is helping nonprofits grow, leave politics at the door. We’ve all been inundated with the bombardment of political scum. Most of us look to you to be the light.
I am a new ED at a startup nonprofit and Rhea’s podcast has been so helpful at teaching me how to do this job!!
Love this podcast. Rhea approaches the non profit world with an actual business mentality. Some of the other podcasts in this space seem too “cheerleady” for me, but Rhea’s actually functions to get me focused like any other business.
So inspiring! As someone who has fairly recently fallen into fundraising, this podcast has really opened up so many conversations for me and my organization on how we view fundraising. I’m excited for every episode because I know I’m going to learn something new or think about an aspect of fundraising from a new perspective. Keep it up!
