55. Unleashing the Power of Innovation in Fundraising Strategies

About this episode

I remember, years ago, I was just starting out in the industry, working long hours and constantly seeking new ways to inspire potential donors. The world was a different place back then, technology was more of a luxury and the tools we leaned on were pretty traditional. 

Recently, I stumbled upon a quote by George Bernard Shaw: "Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything." 

It made me think about the drastic evolution that fundraising has undergone over the past years, and more importantly, how we as fundraising professionals need to constantly adapt and innovate to stay relevant. 

Enter Charlotte Keen, a trailblazer in the evolving landscape of fundraising. Our conversation was a breath of fresh air, as she shared some revolutionary ideas and practices that are reshaping the world of fundraising. And let me tell you, if you're involved in fundraising in any capacity, this is one conversation you don't want to miss. 

Does it sound familiar, being so absorbed in your work that you sometimes forget to step back and examine the bigger picture? The advancements, the technology, the new ideas? I get it. But, the insight Charlotte has to offer is a game changer. 

This week on our podcast, we delve into the future of fundraising, discussing the latest tools, technologies and strategies that can take your fundraising efforts to a whole new level. 

So, are you ready to step into the future of fundraising? Listen in to this riveting conversation.
