We’re in what I like to call the Super Bowl of fundraising, that mad sprint to December 31st. Before you pour all your time and energy into your year-end campaign, I want to make sure you’re not losing money through hidden leaks in your donor funnel.... more
A board member once read me the riot act because I never told her that a friend of hers had given to our year-end campaign. She was right. I hadn’t closed the loop, and her friend ended up asking her why nobody had thanked them. I still think about t... more
I came into this conversation thinking I knew how to raise money. Turns out, I've been fundraising with a broken financial house and didn't notice until Susan DeMarco walked me through it.
Susan DeMarco is the CEO of Brand K Partners, an accounting ... more
I came into this thinking email was dead. Ben Smithee and Brad Duff-Hudkins from NextAfter walked me back from the ledge with 17 million email subscribers worth of actual data. Spoiler: email is fine. You're just bad at it.

Being a guest made me a bigger fan.
I've been on both sides of the mic with Rhea, as a listener and as a guest (episode 404, The DAF Money You're Probably Missing), and she is the real deal. As a host, she asks the questions fundraisers are actually asking and then lets you answer like a human.
And she is exactly who she seems to be off the mic, too. In our LinkedIn messages she is generous with introductions, generous with her ideas (her "Who Should I Call?" checklist is gold), and always ch... more
I tried to do no stars. Not one piece of helpful information for nonprofits. Rhea is completely out of touch with today’s fundraising world.
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!!
