Episode Details

What if you could transform your entire donor engagement strategy from the ground up, 2x your fundraising goals, AND achieve a 64% open rate?

I’m excited to feature a conversation previously on The Purpose & Profit Club podcast featuring Wendy Faust, the trailblazing Executive Director of the Live Like Lou Foundation, and host Christina Edwards from Splendid Consulting.

Wendy takes us on an inspiring journey through her transformative work supporting ALS-affected families, funding innovative ALS research, and keeping Lou Gehrig’s legacy alive. You’ll hear about the viral success of the Ice Bucket Challenge and what it means for ongoing advocacy and funding efforts.

We also uncover the secrets behind tripling email frequency to achieve a 64% open rate, all through the lens of nonprofit storytelling. Plus, personalized thank-you notes, candid videos on TikTok, anniversary emails, and data platforms like Bloomerang helped revolutionize their approach.

Every connection and story shared can make a difference!
