Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trust and Technology in Fundraising: Chronicle Editors Join the Sharpe Insights Podcast
Q: Do you think donors are more skeptical today than in the past, and what role does transparency play in addressing this shift?
Yes, donor trust has cratered with a general culture of skepticism and high-profile scandals; transparency about finances, impact, and data handling helps rebuild trust and makes donors feel their gifts are respected and protected.
Trust and Technology in Fundraising: Chronicle Editors Join the Sharpe Insights Podcast
Q: MJ, let's start with you. How does donor trust differ from client or customer trust, and why is the nonprofit relationship uniquely fragile and powerful?
A donor is buying belief in a mission and may not see tangible return; trust is fragile because misuse or scandals directly affect donors' confidence and willingness to give over long horizons, yet the relationship is powerful due to deep commitment and ongoing involvement.
Insights on Purpose: New Research from the Chronicle and Mission Partners
Q: How can foundations better support nonprofits during this challenging time?
Foundations should initiate conversations with nonprofits to better understand their challenges and consider new funding structures.
Insights on Purpose: New Research from the Chronicle and Mission Partners
Q: What are the risks if the gap continues? Rising demand, decreased financial capacity?

Introducing "Giving Done Right"
Q: What do you see in the foundation survey data? What does it tell us about the way foundations are responding to this existential crisis?
Elisha discusses the alarming data showing that the majority of foundations are facing increased demand for funding amidst a challenging environment.
