What if doing less made you a better fundraiser?
Welcome to The Focused Fundraiser — the podcast for nonprofit leaders who are tired of the chaos and ready to prioritize what actually drives impact.
Hosted by Rob Burke, each episode features honest conversations with fundraisers in the trenches who are cutting through the noise, saying no to the never-ending to-do list, and focusing on what matters most.
We cover:
✔️ Fundraising strategy that doesn’t burn you out
✔️ High-touch stewardship that builds real relationships
✔️ Personal productivity and leadership in nonprofit life
✔️ Systems that help you work smarter, not harder
If you’re ready to drop the “do more” mindset and lead with clarity, focus, and purpose — you’re in the right place.
Live every Tuesday at 11am CT.
