Hasta luego. Tot ziens. À bientôt.
The podcast got too big, too quick for these two social sector entrepreneurs and we need some time to regroup.
What’s NOT changing?
The concept of Donor Growth - more AND deeper relationships with more of your donors. We want to be here to support you–intellectually, emotionally, professionally–and will figure out more and better ways to do it. That’s our promise to you.
Why are you stopping the podcast?
You’ll have to listen to find out! As usual, we share with full transparency.
Wait a sec, does this mean you guys are out of a job now?
If only. Fortunately, we’ll continue to steward our thriving businesses. Check out BuildGood and the Annual Fund Toolkit!
What’s next?
You tell us. How could we best serve you? Would you host us for a Donor Growth meetup in your area?
Thanks so much for being a part of this adventure! We look forward to catching up with you soon.

Everyone wants new donors.
But few organizations are ready to invest in donor acquisition—and more importantly, the work it takes to invest in the relationship with new donors.
Or are they?
Today we talk about a few different ways organizations are acquiring—and keeping—new donors.
We get into what’s working, what isn’t, and what we wished worked.

Acquisition… the final frontier.
Everyone thinks they know what acquisition is and seem to be either firmly for or against.
How did some nonprofits get really big through direct mail acquisition?
Now that many nonprofits are losing donors, how should they think about it?
On Part 1, we dive into acquisition tactics—from faith-based organizations to higher education.
If you feel like you need clarity around this topic, this is the right episode for you.GET CONNECTED

Are we in a recession?
Who knows.
But it’s no secret: a lot of nonprofits are seeing a decline in revenue after the covid bump we experienced for a few years.

These aren’t just principles to whether a recession.
They’re timeless first principles that apply to your fundraising in good years and in lean years.

Jump in, we’re going for a ride.
On today’s podcast, Louis and Mike have a chat about some of the things they’ve been thinking about.
From why focusing on the fundamentals in fundraising is so hard, to building a cheap CRM using no-code tools, to wondering if an ask string really matters in fundraising.
No frameworks. No deep insights.
Just two fundraisers in cars, getting coffee.

Should you focus on donors, dollars, or something else?
Some shops have over 25 metrics that they use to measure gift officer performance!
Others, don’t have any… (or maybe just this one: the is-the-board-happy metric)
What should a fundraising shop measure to make sure it is accountable and progressing toward the nonprofit’s goals?
The answer, according to our conversation today: it depends on:
Your nonprofit’s growth stage
The type of nonprofit you work inWhat you’re able to measureWhat we firmly advocate for: having one or at most two key metrics that we call North Star metrics.

Can a simple checklist reduce the complexity of your fundraising operations?
It sounds too simple. Maybe even too systematized and rigid and robotic.
But what if the complexity of our lives requires the simplest of solutions to give us back the time to do more human stuff…like having coffees and lunches?
Or calling someone on the phone? Or making a meaningful connection?
And what if a series of simple checklists can help us spend less time worrying about rote and repetitive tasks of fundraising, and more time engaging donors?
In today's short episode, we talk about why now might be a good time to create some simple checklists with your team—and how it might help you increase your fundraising performance.

You’ve likely heard this before: “your nonprofit is competing for market share—so you need a clear value proposition to win.”
But is that really true?
Here are some assumptions we’re making if we think that way:
That giving to charity is like buying a product or serviceThat our competition is other nonprofits (vs. inaction, building up more savings to pass down to kids, or countless other ways people spend money every single day)That we are competing in the first place That there’s a fixed pie of generosityWhat if instead we thought about it this way?
People’s ability to grow their generosity isn’t fixed It’s not a function of: are we nicer, prettier, more impactful, more efficient than other charities.It is a function of how engaged people are with us… …and how well we align with their values and passions and worldview (those are things you largely cannot change, by the way)So rather than thinking: how can we stand out from other nonprofits?
What if we think: how can we “stand in” more in the lives of our donors?
What if we focus on donors, not competition?
Because there’s no competition in the first place.

ABOUT THE HOSTS

Mike Duerksen hosts the Build Good Fundraising Podcast. He’s the founder and CEO of BuildGood, a fundraising agency that helps nonprofits raise more money from individual donors. -
For decades, the common way of talking about donor-centric fundraising was defined as “the donor is the hero.”
The sentiment was harmless in its intent. Noble, even.
It was meant to help charity administrators realize that people play the main character in their own lives. They care about their kids and family; and their values and legacy.
Few wake up in the morning thinking about your charity.
And certainly most aren’t used to thinking about choosing—or being loyal to—a certain kind of nonprofit “brand” simply because of how amazing the organization says they are in their marketing.
But donor-centric fundraising has the power to become harmful when misinterpreted or misapplied.
It can lead to organizations being donor-led; where donors get to influence how the money is spent or administered Organizations may centre the role of the donor in an outsized way at the expense of staff, volunteers of beneficiaries Donors who write larger cheques may have outsized influence and power It might contribute to the “white saviour complex” problem facing the charitable sectorOn today’s podcast, Louis and Mike talk about designing fundraising for the human behind the donor (who they are), and inviting them to be an important part of the team (the community they can join) to help achieve our mission (what they can do).
Getting away from “the donor as hero”, good fundraising is simply focused on relationships; not conversions and transactions.
And it can still take into account that people often play the main character in their own story—and that holds true for donors, charity leaders and beneficiaries.

It may not feel like it, but large parts of the world live in greater abundance than ever before.
There is more work, more services, more wealth. And yes, more people.
Increasingly, the hard part is coordinating all of this!
Donors and other external stakeholders (and their information bubbles). Complicated processes using dozens of external services. Employees who don’t share systems or sometimes even a common language!
In this podcast episode, we review the thesis that the role of the CEO is to “create future value.”
In addition to that, Louis argues that coordination should rise to be a CEO priority.
Here are some ways to do it:
Improved CommunicationCommon LanguageTechnology IntegrationReal-Time Information SharingMarketing and Feedback ChannelsProfessional CoordinatorsDigital PlatformsStandardized Behavior and Roles

Welcome to the Shark Tank…or, more like the Turtle Tank (to avoid any trademark violations).
On this week’s episode, Mike pitches Louis some ideas for businesses that would help nonprofits improve their fundraising operations—and Louis gets to invest. But will he?
From a platform that helps nonprofits listen to donor feedback, to recruiting offshore talent for fundraising admin tasks, there’s a little bit of everything in here.
And, of course, this is all theoretical. If we had lawyers, they’d tell us to say “no offer is being made to, or solicited from, the listening audience.”
They’d also tell us not to say “Welcome to the Shark Tank” in the opening line of these show notes.
Share this podcast with a friend, follow wherever you listen to podcasts, and write a review—and maybe one day we’ll actually have lawyers.

There are several mental models we use to organize and understand our fundraising work. The funnel is one of the most well-known.
In today’s episode, we explore the funnel model with you:
What it’s good at explaining.
What it misses.
How it could help you come up with the right solutions to your fundraising problems.
We also tease a couple of alternatives…

What keeps organizations from growing once they’ve hit a certain maturity?
On this week’s podcast, we discuss 3 challenges we’ve seen that hinder fundraising growth.
Arrogance: Thinking your org is “too important” to fail—or too big, or too well known, or too loved, etc. Money will keep coming in because, clearly, you’re awesome.
Bureaucracy: Excessive processes and a lack of nimbleness in decision-making. When decision-making processes become overly bureaucratic, the outcome stops being progress—and it starts being “following process.”
Complacency: Being complacent can lead to a lack of focus on continuous improvement. This is a dangerous place to be, because the house isn’t on fire. Things are running smoothly. All is well. But underneath it all, entropy might be setting in.GET CONNECTED

If you were a fundraiser in higher education 20-30 years ago, the playbook for the annual fund was clear: a couple of letters to your alumni, a reunion effort, and lots of volunteer solicitation.
Making sure you’re deepening your relationships with existing donors, no matter how much they gave to youProactively identifying potential major gift prospects through prospecting campaignsRenewing the interest of your disenfranchised donors
Now… not so much.
Most alumni are non-responsive to email and mail solicitations.
It is harder and harder to get people to volunteer.
Today, we share an alternative playbook that focuses on:Contact Mike or Louis on LinkedIn if you’d like to join us for a Live Consulting episode!

We're diving into the captivating story of the Fyre Festival and exploring how it serves as both a shining example and cautionary tale for special events in fundraising.
At it’s best, special events can:
Brings corporate partners on board Be a physical manifestation of your mission Gather people in community, and build affinity Acquire new donorsBuild richer context around your content Create excitement because of the date-driven eventCreate all sorts of content and other engagement opportunities Involve volunteers in co-building a meaningful experienceBut as always, the real money is in the follow-up and the relationships built.
But there’s downsides to consider.
A myriad of hidden costs No true accounting or attribution In many cases, terrible donor retention Gifts that aren’t meaningful; rather obligatory Can cause internal strife and stress Can distract from building actual relationships Can get you stuck on the donor acquisition hamster wheel Without a follow-up strategy, loses a lot of valueWe'd love to hear your thoughts!

We’re back from the first-ever Build Good Summit at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights—and we’re doing a bit of a recap.
-What did we learn?
-What made the BG Summit different from other conferences?
-What were some of the key challenges fundraisers in the room brought to the table?
-Which sessions did we find the most valuable and innovative?
-Did the conference make any money?
If you’re tired of stuffy conferences, full of suits and bowties, in big convention centres, with recycled AC air and stale coffee, and case studies from scaled up consultancies that don’t actually take you behind the scenes…you might find today’s pod interesting.

Free To Shine raises about $400,000 per year to protect girls in Cambodia from being sex trafficked.
They’re effective. They’re doing work that matters a great deal. They’re innovative.
But they’re struggling to raise the needed funds year after year.
Should they invest more in grants?
Should they try something new?
Or should they go all in on building a robust monthly giving program? On this live consulting call, Louis and Mike brainstorm with Georgia about the best next step.

Are you tired of hearing about ChatGPT?
If you are, this episode might be for you.
Because chances are, most use cases you’ve seen are about using AI to help you write thank you notes, emails, appeals, gift agreements, and more.
But that’s only scratching the surface of what ChatGPT can do—and honestly, it’s the most boring part.
On today’s podcast, Louis and Mike get into uses cases specifically for fundraising that aren’t about content creation.
Things like:
Summarizing Meetings: ChatGPT can be used to quickly summarize meeting notes and action items, allowing fundraisers to spend less time on administrative tasks and more time engaging with donors.
Qualitative Sentiment Analysis: By analyzing donor feedback and identifying common themes and trends, ChatGPT can help fundraisers understand donor preferences and improve the donor experience.
Data Analysis: With its ability to analyze large volumes of data, ChatGPT can help fundraisers identify patterns and insights that can inform business decisions and optimize fundraising strategies.
Scheduling and Planning: ChatGPT can assist with scheduling meetings, planning fundraising campaigns, and creating donor visitation schedules, helping fundraisers save time and increase productivity.But what about you?
How are you using ChatGPT?
