The nonprofit world is shifting fast, and if you want to stay ahead in 2025, you can’t rely on last year’s strategies. After attending and speaking at GiveCon, I took a step back to really absorb what’s working—and what’s not. From AI-powered donor outreach to bold fundraising asks that work, I’m breaking down the 10 biggest nonprofit marketing and fundraising trends that will shape how you raise money and grow your mission this year. The organizations that win are the ones willing to be brave, adapt fast, and put relationships first—and that’s exactly what I’m covering in this episode. Whether you’re looking to scale up recurring giving, get better at bold fundraising asks, or tap into the power of storytelling (the right way), this episode will give you the edge you need. Topics: Why bold fundraisers always raise more money and how to stop playing small The real reason you’re hesitant to ask and how it’s costing you funding How to market “hard-to-talk-about” missions and connect with the right audience How to create a sense of community that keeps donors coming back A simple (but wildly effective) donor engagement trick you can steal today Why uncertainty shouldn’t scare you —it should push you to innovate The two fundraising strategies that every nonprofit leader should be prioritizing Smart ways to use AI in your nonprofit without losing the human connection Why waiting for the perfect campaign is holding you back (and what to do instead) How to ethically gather and use impact stories (and why consent should never be forever) For a full list of links and resources mentioned in this episode, click here .

Nonprofit fundraising doesn’t have to be a guessing game or a long, drawn-out, exhausting process. Yet, so many nonprofit leaders struggle to hit that $10k+ mark every time they run a fundraiser. If you’ve ever felt like fundraising is an uphill battle, you’re not alone—but it doesn’t have to be this way. In this episode, I’m breaking down the two essential skills that will help you raise five figures consistently—without dragging out campaigns for months or shouldering all the work alone.

Plus, I introduce my brand new program—The SPRINT Method™! This is my step-by-step system designed to help you raise 10k+ on repeat without stress, long waits, or doing it all alone. Topics: Why most nonprofits make fundraising harder than it needs to be The two major traps that keep organizations stuck in fundraising stress mode Skill #1: Confident, proactive donor outreach (and how to get comfortable making bold asks) Skill #2: Fast, action-oriented campaigns (why short, high-impact fundraising sprints are key) How to stop solo fundraising and activate your network for peer-led campaigns The biggest mistakes nonprofits make that kill fundraising momentum How to ditch long cultivation cycles and start raising money faster For a full list of links and resources mentioned in this episode, click here .

You’ve poured your heart into your nonprofit, spending nights and weekends building programs, rallying volunteers, and making an impact—yet, there’s still not enough funding to quit your day job and go all in. Sound familiar? So many nonprofit founders get stuck in this exact cycle—working tirelessly but never quite breaking through to a fully-funded organization. And here’s the hard truth: The way you’re fundraising is keeping you stuck. In this episode, I’m breaking down how to raise enough money to finally go full-time, why small-dollar fundraisers (like that exhausting gala or 5K) aren’t the answer, and the exact strategy to bring in $10K+ every time you fundraise. Plus, we’re talking about the mindset shifts you need to make to pay yourself without guilt—because your nonprofit can’t grow if it can’t keep you. If you’re tired of running on fumes and ready to lead your organization with full-time energy and full-time funding, this episode is your blueprint. Topics: The #1 reason part-time Executive Directors stay stuck (and how to break the cycle) Why small fundraising events aren’t the magic fix How to start securing mid and major gifts instead of relying on small-dollar donations The money mindset shift you need to confidently pay yourself How investing in leadership increases funding by 2-3x A step-by-step guide to raising $10K+ every campaign using the Sprint Method For a full list of links and resources mentioned in this episode, click here .

135: It’s Not Your CRM: 3 Real Reasons You’re Missing Your Fundraising Goals 25:10

5 weeks sitten25:10

25:10

If you’re not hitting your fundraising goals, it’s easy to think the problem is your CRM, website, or donation platform. But switching tools won’t fix a broken strategy. I see so many nonprofits stuck in a cycle of blaming their tech instead of addressing the real issue— how they’re engaging donors and running campaigns . In this episode, I’m breaking down three major reasons organizations miss their fundraising targets and what to do instead. I’m talking about the difference between reactive and proactive fundraising (and why most organizations are stuck in survival mode), the fear of making bold asks, and the importance of differentiation—because if you blend in, you’ll be ignored. If you’re tired of feeling like you’re constantly fundraising but never getting ahead, this episode is for you. Topics: The myth of "better tech = better fundraising"— why tool-hopping won’t solve your funding problems The real reasons nonprofits miss their fundraising goals How to shift from reactive fundraising to a proactive donor engagement plan The power of bold, emotionally-driven storytelling (and why playing it safe is hurting your donations) Why differentiation is key —if you don’t stand out, donors will choose none The fundraising Sprint Method: how to stop the constant scramble and start raising more with less effort For a full list of links and resources mentioned in this episode, click here .

Grants disappearing overnight? Funding feeling more uncertain than ever? If the recent federal grant freeze had you panicked, you're not alone. Traditional nonprofit funding strategies aren’t as secure as they once were, and it’s time to rethink how your organization brings in revenue. I’m breaking down the biggest funding red flags I’m seeing right now, why social media without conversions is a giant waste of time and money, and where you should be reallocating your budget to bring in bigger, more sustainable donations. Plus, I’m talking about influencer-led campaigns (yes, even for small nonprofits) and why they’re one of the most effective fundraising strategies today. If you’re ready to stop relying on unpredictable grants and donor cycles and start building funding momentum that lasts, this episode is a must-listen! Topics: The recent grant freeze and why relying too much on one funding source is risky How a heavy dependence on major donors, grants, or one big event can put your nonprofit in danger The real reason why your social media strategy isn’t bringing in donations —and how to fix it Why keeping low performers (or outdated strategies) is costing you more than you realize The truth about PR and marketing agencies —why they won’t magically unlock donor dollars How influencer partnerships and Social Street Teams® are changing the fundraising game Where to reallocate your budget for maximum impact (stop overspending on things that don’t work!)

Let’s talk about something that’s quietly draining your nonprofit—outdated leadership. You know the kind… the board that plays it safe, resists change, and clings to “what’s always worked” even though it’s clearly not working anymore. And guess what? It’s costing your mission millions. In this episode, we’re calling it out: playing small is the biggest risk you can take. I’ll walk you through why leadership’s fear of innovation is keeping you stuck, why your nonprofit needs to invest in modern fundraising strategies, and how organizations that embrace bold moves are seeing massive results. Plus, I’m sharing a few case studies of nonprofits who ditched the old playbook, leveled up their approach, and unlocked hundreds of thousands in new funding. So, if you’ve ever felt like you’re dragging your board into the future—or worse, getting shut down every time you bring a fresh idea to the table—this episode is for you.

In this episode I want to talk about plateaus – every organization, every business ever has experienced some flavor of a plateau. For a lot of nonprofits, it sounds a little bit like this: Your campaign started strong, donations were rolling in, you are feeling excited because you can just feel the buzz. But then, like clockwork, it just flatlines. Plateaus don’t happen because donors stop caring, they happen because you stop giving them motivation to engage. So we're going to dig into the five reasons why plateaus happen today, and some of my favorite strategies to get you out of the messy middle, get you out of that plateau and close that campaign strong. Topics: Stop speaking at donors and start talking with them : If your messaging feels like a lecture, your donors wills top listening, plus refreshed ideas of how to engage instead Use your biggest donors to their full potential: Plan ahead, mobilize your Social Street Team™, and fundraise as as team Check your calls to action : Make sure your CTAs are specific while dialing up urgency and communicating the consequences of inaction Taking stock of your own energy : You have to be the most bought in person on your campaign to bring everyone else along for the ride The impact of differentiation : Develop a personal, bold point of view and be unapologetic about your uniqueness in order to stand out from the crowd For a full list of links and resources mentioned in this episode, click here .
