In this episode, I’m diving deep into why individual giving programs are essential for nonprofit organizations—especially those with budgets under $2M. Drawing from my own experience weathering the 2008 recession, I’ll share why individual donors provide one of the most stable and sustainable revenue streams for mission-driven organizations. But here’s the catch: many nonprofits struggle with individual giving because they’ve been taught to approach it the wrong way. From building meaningful relationships to nurturing a true community of supporters, this episode breaks down what it really takes to create a thriving individual giving program. If you’ve ever felt like your fundraising efforts just don’t pay off, this episode is for you!
