Fundraising isn’t about convincing people to give, it’s about building trust that lasts. In this episode, Kyle and Dan sit down with Mark Dobosz, a philanthropy leader with 40+ years of experience across major gifts, donor strategy, and long-term relationship building.
Mark shares what separates transactional fundraising from transformational partnership, how to deepen donor engagement beyond the first gift, and the habits that keep supporters connected year after year. If you’re tired of short-term wins and want sustainable revenue, this episode is for you.
