Mastering Fundraising is a show for nonprofit leaders of all titles and all experience levels. Mastering Fundraising endeavors to cover the most important fundraising topics with the goal of helping the audience reach their full potential as fundraisers. Today on the Mastering Fundraising Podcast, we’re joined by Jim Boyle, who serves as the chief fundraiser on staff with the Charles Darwin Foundation based in the Galápagos Islands. Jim is working on one of the most ambitious and inspiring fundraising campaigns in the world to restore ecological balance to islands that are home to some of the planet’s most unique species. Beyond the boldness of that vision, Jim brings a deep perspective on what it takes to remain hopeful, optimistic, and motivated in the face of enormous challenges—whether it’s the soaring number of unhoused individuals in our communities, unchecked habitat loss, or the staggering scale of global ecosystem collapse. He reminds us that the fundraising journey isn’t just about dollars raised, but about sustaining our own spirit and energy for the long road ahead.
