AI for Human Connection

The Giving Growth Podcast is about confronting the uncomfortable truth facing nonprofits today:

The traditional donor pyramid is collapsing.

Older donors are aging out. Younger generations aren't stepping in fast enough. And economic volatility is squeezing philanthropy from all sides.

Each episode, Giving Growth features candid conversations with nonprofit leaders, funders, and innovators who are rethinking how to engage donors, build sustainable programs, and scale impact in a radically changing world.

We dig into:
* Why legacy fundraising models are failing
* What’s working to attract and retain next-gen donors
* How to use data, technology, and storytelling to drive meaningful growth
* And how to future proof your nonprofit without losing your mission

It’s not about hype. It’s about hard truths, and bold strategies for what comes next.
If you’re a nonprofit exec or fundraiser looking to grow in a world that’s shifting under your feet, this is your show.
