Relationships are everything. So, why is it that nonprofits often come to donors with the never-ending ask, as if the donor or potential donor is simply an ATM? What donor wants THAT kind of relationship with a nonprofit? How do we shift our traditional fundraising methodology to something that feels more authentic and long-term, working with donors as valued partners, rather than simply short-term and transactional---to create overarching success---from both the donor's AND the nonprofit’s point-of-view? Author, donor, and charitable giving expert Lisa Zola Greer tells compelling stories about how it feels to be excluded from meaningful conversations---and what nonprofits can do to change that.
