In this episode Steven Screen, co-founder of Better Fundraising Company and inventor of the "Ask, Thank, Report, Repeat" fundraising rhythm, talks about how nonprofits can navigate the current period of uncertainty affecting fundraising efforts. Today's landscape varies significantly across organizations. Some nonprofits face severe government funding cuts, others are benefiting from "rage giving," and many fall somewhere in between. This variation prompted Steven and his colleague Jeff Brooks to create a new white paper with "if-then" statements to help organizations diagnose their specific situation and determine appropriate strategies.
Throughout the discussion, Steven emphasizes the critical importance of increasing communication frequency across all channels when competing for donor attention in noisy times. He advises checking in with major donors more frequently, sending additional fundraising emails, and creating more opportunities for in-person connection. He stresses that despite economic uncertainty and increased competition for resources, fundraising can still thrive.

In this episode, theme park designer Ariel Ruiz shares her expertise in experiential design. The conversation reveals how Ariel’s background creating immersive rides translates to nonprofit events, where she approaches spaces as storytelling opportunities rather than mere venues. She explains that effective experiences are built around a clear narrative foundation, with every design choice—from lighting and color to sound and scent—supporting that core story. The hosts and Ruiz discuss how fundraising events naturally unfold as a series of "scenes," each with distinct emotional intentions that guide guests through a transformative journey. Throughout the discussion, Ruiz emphasizes the importance of empathizing with guests who may be unfamiliar with an organization's work, designing spaces that intuitively communicate mission and purpose without explicit instruction. This conversation offers fundraisers a fresh perspective on event design that moves beyond aesthetic concerns to create memorable experiences that meaningfully connect donors to their cause.

In this episode Mariah Monique of The Sponsorship Catalyst shares her expertise on nonprofit sponsorship strategies. Drawing from her experience on both sides of sponsorship relationships, Mariah brings great insight and strategy to event sponsorship. Despite economic uncertainties, sponsorship budgets are growing as companies recognize the value of experiential marketing. She advises nonprofits to diversify their sponsorship portfolio across businesses of different sizes and industries while debunking the myth that only large corporations offer worthwhile sponsorships. Mariah stresses the importance of connecting with "sponsorship gatekeepers" and approaching sponsors as equal partners, confident in the value nonprofits provide through their cultivated audiences. By understanding sponsors' goals and moving beyond transactional interactions, nonprofits can build enduring partnerships that benefit all parties involved.
