Hi Reader, it's been a while since my last email! I've been avoiding the fact that the anniversary of my breast cancer diagnosis is tomorrow - October 1, the beginning of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I've come a long way in a year, but it's not over yet. Cancer is more like a chronic disease - the repercussions are long-term and far-reaching. Thank you to everyone who has reached out and shared such kind words. 🩷 Today I want to share with you some exciting podcast episodes that I've been working on, hopefully they will help you with some questions you may have or struggles you may be going through. 🎧 How to Fundraise with Email with Amanda NicholsonWe explore why email remains one of the most powerful tools in a nonprofit’s toolkit, and how to use it more authentically and effectively in 2025. Amanda shares practical insights on building strong donor relationships, writing compelling email sequences, and designing donation pages that actually convert. 🎧 How to Tell Powerful Stories, Ethically with Carly EulerWe dive into Carly’s recent article, “I Wish Someone Would Have Told Me: Stories Can Be Ethical & Still Raise Funds,” and unpack the fundraising industry’s overreliance on trauma-driven narratives. Carly shares a powerful personal moment that reshaped how she approaches storytelling, and offers tangible strategies for nonprofit professionals who want to center consent, agency, and dignity while still driving results. 🎧 Reconnecting With Your Mission’s Biggest Fans with Gustavo ZylberbergWhat if your nonprofit’s most passionate supporters aren’t new donors or current volunteers, but the people who were part of your mission years ago? I talk with Gustavo Zylberberg, founder of Vitalcy, an AI-powered engagement platform built to help nonprofits reconnect with the former staff, members, and donors who still care deeply but may have fallen off the radar. DON'T FORGET TO HIT SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss an episode! Thanks for being part of my email community. Best, Julia |
