In this episode, I break down the four critical actions every nonprofit leader must take in the face of mounting challenges: double down on major gifts while building community, merge for greater impact, find your people, and prioritize self-care. But why these steps?

I dive into the psychology behind it, exploring how the Just World Hypothesis fuels neoliberal policies that deepen inequality, erode social safety nets, and reshape the nonprofit landscape. Discover how cognitive biases, political ideologies, and shifting donor behaviors are changing the game—and what you can do to navigate this new reality.

The boundaries between livestream fundraising and traditional peer-to-peer fundraising are disappearing. Our donors and fundraisers are iterating faster than we are, erasing the difference between these two departments as influencers become content creators who are team captains. This "horseshoe dynamic" requires a restructuring of the revenue department. Not doing so means losing constituents and income.

Michael Wasserman, founder of Tiltify, and Katrina VanHuss, founder of Turnkey For Good, discuss these changes in both technical and organizational terms.

Raising money with events has been getting harder. Acquisition got harder. Retention got lower. Event leaders are losing their jobs. Why? Turns out we were systematizing the wrong thing. We should have been systematizing the building of communities. Communities sometimes hold events. Events rarely hold communities. We had it backwards and our results prove it. Join us to gain a full understanding of the psychological difference between a community and an event, and the likely outcomes of each. Learn why identity is an important part of community building, and why events don’t use identity nearly as well, impacting event financial results and lifetime donor/fundraiser value. Robin Paterson with Cystic Fibrosis joins Kate and Otis to tell you how it works in real life.

Michael Wasserman, Founder and CEO of Tiltify, explains why addressing the tools of social influencers in the specific and incorrect terms of “livestream/gaming” is limiting to results. He recommends and demonstrates repositioning those tools to enable people who manage social influencers to succeed and support ALL areas of fundraising. Katrina suggests quitting your job and jumping to the next one because your organization may never get over seeing you as that “gaming fundraiser.” Dr. Otis Fulton explains how content creators can help you build your nonprofit community. In short, it was fun.
