I\u2019m worried. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conservative, risk-averse boards tend to lower expectations and pull back on fundraising during an election year. This is a counterproductive reaction because, as you\u2019ve probably heard me say, the world is counting on you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of retreating into scarcity, what should nonprofit leaders place at the top of the fundraising action plan? And perhaps, more importantly, what do the evidence-based trends suggest about how to create thriving fundraising campaigns?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this episode, I bring you Tom Kissane, Vice Chairman of CCS Fundraising, who has invested his career advising organizations about how to successfully raise funds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, he has helped organizations raise more than $3 billion by partnering with hundreds of extraordinary organizations in designing, implementing, and providing strategic oversight to over 1000 fundraising initiatives for 35 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom speaks to the facts about fundraising in an election year (and any year) by illuminating the trends and providing real figures to anchor the argument that there is plenty of opportunity for nonprofits to raise funds and thrive this year.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listen in to learn about what is trending, what is not trending, and what opportunities are available for nonprofits to create a bright horizon and attract the funds you need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spoiler alert: There are solid reasons NOT to fall back, but to (fund)raise up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
