13. Fundraising In a Challenging Economy
About this episode
Today on The Intentional Fundraiser podcast, I'm talking with my good friend and brilliant fundraiser Cherian Koshy. He is the principal and consultant with Endowment Partners, an investment management firm that works solely with nonprofits and foundations. We'll be talking about what's on every fundraiser's mind right now: fundraising in a challenging economy, especially as we're heading into the fourth quarter.
We're looking at inflation and possible recession. We talk about donor-advised funds and how they might be part of the solution. Securities and cryptocurrency. In this episode, we're talking about how we, as fundraisers, navigate it all.

"You open up an account and you put money into that account and it's invested. So it grows, and then you're allowed to use that money in the future to make charitable gifts."
