Nonprofit Lowdown #375- Why Boards and Executives Keep Talking Past Each Other About Fundraising
Real talk: I tried very hard to avoid this episode. Because boards + fundraising can get… messy.
But if we’re serious about major gifts, we can’t keep skipping this conversation.
In this episode, I unpack why boards and executives keep blaming each other for fundraising results and why the real issue usually isn’t effort, motivation, or commitment.
It’s the system.
Most of us are driving a fundraising “car” that was built for a different era. When it breaks down, boards say, “You’re driving wrong,” and executives say, “You’re not giving me enough gas.” Meanwhile, everyone’s exhausted and nothing changes.
If fundraising feels heavy, risky, or dependent on one or two people, this episode is for you.
Bring a partner. Come ready to be honest.No replay because real change needs shared presence.
Let’s stop blaming the driver, the gas, or each other and fix the dang car.
