241: Reimagining Donor Relationships with Tammy Zonker
In this episode of What the Fundraising Podcast…
In today’s rapidly evolving landscape of nonprofits, it’s a necessity that leaders lead with more bravery and boldness than ever before. Such courage means moving beyond their safe zones and well-worn paths and embracing risks that reflect the urgency of missions. Brave leadership is no longer an option but a necessity, whether it’s challenging misconceptions, building authentic relationships with donors, or daring to imagine a future beyond the next 12 months.
This week, we are joined by Tammy Zonker, a leader, strategic thinker, and renowned expert in major gift fundraising with nearly three decades of impactful experience. She is also the founder and president of Fundraising Transformed and host of The Intentional Fundraiser podcast. She has led and trained thousands of nonprofits, including social service organizations, colleges & universities, private schools, and healthcare organizations to raise nearly a billion dollars. She is devoted to empowering nonprofit organizations to achieve exceptional results. She joined us today to talk about how nonprofit leaders can harness their courage to drive change, build meaningful relationships, and show up as their best selves in service of the communities they represent.
In this episode, you will be able to,
Learn about the fear of failure and disappointment among nonprofit leaders.
