Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fundraising from Proximity: The Power (and Burden) of Lived Experience (with Sadé Dozan)
Q: What should next-gen nonprofit professionals focus on to sustain this work healthily?
Boundaries are crucial; professionals should know how much of their identity and experience to share, protect their own wellbeing, and seek roles where they can influence both storytelling and decision-making.
Fundraising from Proximity: The Power (and Burden) of Lived Experience (with Sadé Dozan)
Q: What are the indicators that an organization is ready to embrace proximity and lived experience as an asset?
Visible policies that meet people where they are, extended leave and caregiver supports, and a culture of listening to employees indicate readiness; also, leadership must acknowledge the emotional labor and ensure those closest to the work have decision-making influence.
Fundraising from Proximity: The Power (and Burden) of Lived Experience (with Sadé Dozan)
Q: What does it look like when a fundraiser has to translate proximity into something acceptable for donors?
It involves reshaping true lived experiences into a donor-friendly narrative, which can be frustrating but is often seen as necessary to secure funding; the challenge is balancing honesty with what donors are ready to hear.
Greater Visibility Equals More Funding (with Jenn DeBarge Goonan)
Q: What is the most pressing challenge facing nonprofit fundraisers and leaders right now?
The main issue is staying visible in a crowded landscape, ensuring consistent, clear communication that reaches donors, funders, and the community, which directly affects funding opportunities.
Grounded Leadership: Why Consistency Is Your Strategic Advantage (with Melissa Cowley Wolf and Daniela Bryan)
Q: What would you say to boards about funding leadership development?
Boards should view leadership development as an investment, not overhead, because it strengthens the organization's people, culture, and long-term impact, improving retention and succession planning.
