Description

If you're feeling frustrated and overwhelmed by the lack of results from your traditional fundraising methods, such as direct mail campaigns and in-person events, then you are not alone! Despite your best efforts, you may be experiencing a decline in donor engagement and a struggle to meet your fundraising goals. Instead of seeing increased support and financial contributions, you may be witnessing apathy from potential donors who are bombarded with appeals and are looking for more personalized and interactive ways to connect with your cause.

Meet Owen O'Doherty, a thoughtful innovator and the mind behind DonorSee. With a deep-seated passion for product development, with the overarching goal of making a difference, Owen has spent years shaping technology for good. His first venture was a healthtech platform for caregiving, born from personal experience and a desire to support families in similar situations. His ongoing dedication led him to DonorSee, where he leverages technology to allow nonprofits to modernize fundraising and connect with communities on a deeper level.

In this episode, you will:

Discover the crucial importance of exhibiting your fundraising’s palpable impact and how it can significantly boost your efforts.

Learn the art of engaging donors through compelling storytelling and skillful use of media platforms.

Uncover strategies that hold the key to overcoming donor fatigue and ensuring sustained donor involvement.

Explore how leveraging the power of community and identity can give you an edge in the nonprofit landscape.

What the Fundraising is the podcast for impact leaders and change-makers who are tired of doing things the old school way and are looking for best practices to raise money, run their organization, and think about the nonprofit sector in a whole new way.  Every Tuesday for 40-60 min, your host, Mallory Erickson, will be having real and raw conversations with some of the best personal and professional development experts, many of whom are outside the nonprofit sector. These are bestselling authors, world-renowned researchers, and TEDx experts, most of whom have never spoken to a non-profit audience before. They have come ready to share expertise, lessons, and stories that will fundamentally change the way you show up as a leader and fundraiser. There are so many valuable lessons nonprofit leaders are missing because they are outside of their typical orbit, but no more. Mallory is bringing them in and helping to apply her guest's expertise to disrupt the nonprofit sector once and for all. So if you are ready to learn how to upgrade your fundraising strategy, leadership skills, energy, habits, and mindset to bring in more funding and actually have some fun doing it, then this is the right podcast for you.
