Featured episode – Trends in Direct Fundraising: Keeping It Real With Erica Waasdorp
In this NGO Soul+Strategy podcast episode, I interview Erica Waasdorp, President of A Direct Solution, a consulting agency with expertise in direct giving and monthly giving, on trends in direct fundraising. Our conversation addresses these questions and more:
- What constitutes a culture of philanthropy within nonprofits and NGOs? It’s a term easily bandied around, but how do I see when it’s in place?
- How has the field of direct giving by small donors and monthly giving as one donor practice in particular changed in the last 10-20 years?
- Are there hurdles to be overcome in persuading donors to adopt monthly giving?
Finally, there is a lot of discussion about the need for a shift towards ethical storytelling, with local program participants in the driver’s seat while focusing on the local person’s agency. The raison d’etre for this is clear; however, is this aligned with what motivates donors (at least in traditional fundraising ‘markets’) to give?
