As newcomers to the world of charitable giving, they found themselves frustrated and shocked by the impersonal interactions, scripted engagements, and dated methods pervasive in the nonprofit sector. After several years studying the sector, continually experiencing the same issues, and recognizing that millions of donors shared the same negative experience with giving, Lisa decided to promote fundamental change in how fundraising is done by teaching nonprofits how to do better. Today, Lisa writes, teaches, and advises fundraisers on incorporating the donor perspective into all their fundraising activities. As a fundraising coach, nonprofit changemaker, major donor, and author of the bestselling book Philanthropy Revolution, Lisa is on a mission to "Save Giving." Her second book, The Fundraiser's Handbook, will be released in 2024. Between her books, her teaching, and her highly successful blog, Philanthropy 451, Lisa helps nonprofits see a clear path to sustainable and long-term success.
