Shownotes

The biggest donors aren’t “the future” anymore. They’re already here.

In my latest episode of The Intentional Fundraiser, I share what I’m seeing as younger, women, and values‑driven donors rewrite the rules of major giving. From shorter cultivation cycles to co‑designing impact and bringing families and circles into the conversation, I walk you through real stories and practical moves you can start testing right away.

If donors want speed, transparency, and a true voice at the table, what needs to change first in your approach

🎧 Listen to this episode and share it with a colleague, your executive director, or a board member who needs to hear this conversation.
