The Fundraising Talent Podcast
Business:Non-Profit
My guest today on The Fundraising Talent Podcast is Kimberly, host of The Intersection Podcast and avid user of Clubhouse which is perhaps were we first met about eighteen months ago. Kimberly kicked us off with the idea that fundraising is long overdue for a reset. She believes that many of the underlying beliefs and assumptions that have gotten us to where we are today need to be surfaced and understood; and, as painful as it might be, we may have to let go of some of them. Kimberly and I agreed that much of this reckoning could happen with a simple overhaul of the fundraiser’s job description, a consistent theme in several recent conversations.
Instead of signing on for job descriptions that don’t look any different than an operating manual for a machine churning out inanimate objects at scale, fundraisers need to look for opportunities where they are given the chance to build meaningful relationships with donors who, rather than behaving like self-interested consumers, see themselves as citizens who shared a common commitment the positive change we aspire to bring about in our communities.
As always, we are especially grateful to our friends at CueBack for sponsoring The Fundraising Talent Podcast.
