6. Understanding your donor’s perspectives, unspoken concerns and questions
About this episode
We are delighted to have none other than Harvey McKinnon join us today on The Intentional Fundraiser Podcast.
I invited Harvey to the show because he’s one of North America’s leading fundraising experts, a prolific author, and an international keynote speaker. And to help us all better understand your donor’s perspectives, and unspoken concerns and questions.
Harvey loves sharing his passion and expertise with fundraising pros just like you. He’s smart. He’s funny. And while you won’t see it on this podcast, he’s a really good dancer!

"I think trust is absolutely key. And you build trust through having integrity. And demonstrating and listening to them as well. That builds trust because they think this is a person who hears what I'm saying."
- Harvey McKinnon, President, Harvey McKinnon Associates
