I’m so happy to know about how this work and Mallory’s guests can transform my ability to be a human, a leader, and a fundraiser. What a gift to be part of this community!
The host talks way more than the guests. I’d rather be hearing their expertise than her random stories about herself.
Mallory has an amazing way of getting to the center of struggles in nonprofit fundraising with understanding and heart. She presents actionable, accessible, and thoughtful advice that fundraisers can tailor to their personal needs and their organization’s goals. Her advice and observations are people-first, compassionate, and values-driven. Mallory has a beautiful way of opening doors for her listeners to walk into a space of healthy perspective and clarity.
Mallory is gifted and insightful in more ways than you can imagine- these podcasts are so much more than how to fundraise- she is an incredible teacher on how to be more grounded, whole and regulated in all aspects of your life
Love this podcast! Mallory and her guests help make the nonprofit fundraising elephant edible, one bite at the time!

The show focuses on practical fundraising, leadership, and organizational strategy for impact leaders in the nonprofit sector, often blending insights from outside-the-sector experts with hands-on tactics. Episodes emphasize donor relationships, sustainable funding models, psychological and neuroscience-informed approaches to fundraising, and mindful leadership—often with a coaching or personal development angle. A standout is the consistent pairing of deep expert knowledge with real-world application, including tools, frameworks, and conversations designed to be actionable for frontline fundraisers and leaders alike.
