Customer Reviews
FINALLY!
Finally, someone who not only understands major gifting in theory, but who brings a fully orbed view that they’ve actually applied in the blocking and tackling of MG work! The metrics given are legitimate because I personally employ very similar metrics and I know that these metrics work and are viable. The hosts bring substance coupled with practicality and years of proven experience. Finally, they’re versed on growing the entire donor pipeline from acquisition through legacy giving which is refreshing. This podcast is worth your time and can improve your skills whether you’re a proven professional fundraiser with decades of success or someone who’s just starting out and is hungry for growing generosity and closing deals.
Must-hear for anyone in fundraising!
Andrew and Roy are two fundraising pros who've rounded up leaders across the spectrum to share ideas and insights gained from years of experience in the nonprofit space. This is a great podcast for anyone looking to better understand the many facets of fundraising. Enjoy!
A breath of fresh air!
Now you can stop going to events where people puff out their chests, often telling lies about how they closed this major gift or that one. Instead, just listen to this podcast. Finally, you can hear REAL, down-to-earth discussions from the best frontline fundraisers about 'rainmaking' — thanks to Andrew and Roy. This is a must-listen for anyone who is serious about making tremendous impact.
