Episode Details

You know you should stay connected with your major donors. But what do you say when you’re not asking them for money?

Too often, nonprofits confuse communicating with donors with actually building relationships. Newsletters, annual reports, event invitations, and appeals all have a role—but sending more communications doesn’t necessarily create a deeper connection.

In this episode of Huddle Up with Mark The Fund Coach, Mark explores how Major Gift Leaders create meaningful donor touchpoints based on what they’ve learned about the individual donor.

You’ll learn why donor discovery should shape future interactions, how to find genuine reasons to reach out, why not every conversation needs to move someone closer to an ask, and how a simple message—“I remember what matters to you”—can communicate something far more powerful than another cultivation tactic.

Because relationship fundraising isn’t about pretending to care. It’s taking the time to actually care.
