from The Intentional Fundraiser Podcast

Burned out by fundraising debates?I know how exhausting it feels when donor-centered vs. community-centered fundraising pulls us apart—while donor fatigue and burnout drag us down. But what if there’s a more human, powerful way forward?In this episode, I share how I learned to build bridges, not barriers, and saw philanthropy—and team morale—soar in the process.What would your organization look like if everyone—donors, staff, and community—felt like a hero in your story?Take a listen, then share it with someone else who believes unity is the real superpower.Together, we can transform fundraising—and the world.Guest: Tammy ZonkerResources: Show notes, links, and resources mentioned in this episode.Review my show: Please review my show.
