Episode #82 | What the Fundraising with Mallory Erickson
This episode explores Mallory Erickson’s new book ”What the Fundraising,” which argues that declining donor participation and fundraiser burnout are connected problems, both driven by transactional fundraising practices that feel horrible to everyone involved. Mallory’s primary hope is that fundraisers feel seen and less alone, understanding their discomfort with traditional approaches is normal. She wants folks to realize that fundraising success starts inside them, and while she wishes the sector prioritized wellness because it’s right, she makes a clear business case for why organizations struggle when they don’t care for their people. We also talk about her new technology solution, Practivated, a platform or fundraisers to actually practice real conversations that move donors. This episode is full of insight, energy, and inspiration as Mallory continues her work to get fundraisers better tools and additional support to create a more sustainable nonprofit sector for everyone.
