  • So much to think about

    Thank you for this episode. Very helpful in clearly articulating the components of change that my organization need to consider. The truck now is sequencing the work and making sure we have the resources to bring it all to life.

  • Take a listen. Be encouraged.

    This is such a great podcast. Philanthropy is changing. As fundraising professionals it is our responsibility to reimagine how to best serve, engage and appreciate those who give (time, talents and treasures) to our organization. Andrew hits it out of the park with the February 9, 2023 “YES! There IS a better way to fundraise.”

    Take a listen.

    Get excited.

    Be encouraged.

    Thank you for your leadership and making good things happen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hungry. Humble. Hustle.
Q: What is the value of bringing investors face to face with the projects and programs they are asked to fund?
Draper says firsthand visits help donors see the work, meet local leaders, and build trust in the ministry's partners and impact. Donors who become champions may host gatherings, advocate for the cause, and give more deeply.
Hungry. Humble. Hustle.
Q: What was the single biggest inflection point or decision that made Biblica's major-gift revenue growth possible?
Draper describes several factors: a leader who built a major-donor system, a firm that helped attract new donors, focused donor care, and inviting existing investors to bring friends into the work.
Securing $100K gifts (in the mail!)
Q: What are your predictions for the philanthropy market in the near to mid-term?
The market is likely to shift toward more strategic, relationship-focused fundraising with emphasis on donor capacity and long-term engagement, potentially expanding the pool of major gift opportunities as donors reassess impact and alignment with nonprofit missions.
Securing $100K gifts (in the mail!)
Q: What is the role of donor capacity identification in securing transformational gifts?
Donor capacity identification is essential because it helps move a gift from a one-off donation to a lasting relationship, enabling a fundraiser to tailor asks and steward donors toward larger, transformational gifts over time.
