Your clients, who are the beneficiaries of your programs, can provide compelling testimonials and insights that showcase the effectiveness of your organization. However, it's crucial to avoid treating them as mere tokens or putting them on display. It's important to respect their dignity as they work with your organization. The involvement of clients in promoting your organization should never interfere with their participation in the programs they're engaging in. Hear my thoughts on this topic in today's Hey Fundraiser! podcast episode!

Engaging Leadership and Program Staff

Welcome to Hey Fundraiser, the podcast for nonprofit Executive Directors and major gift officers who are done guessing.Each week, host Mary Petersen pulls back the curtain on what actually works in major gifts. Not theory. Not whiteboard frameworks. Real scripts, real strategy, and the exact moves you can use in your next donor meeting. Mary spent 25+ years as a working major gift officer and built a methodology that closes 5 and 6-figure gifts in months, not years, by going deep with a focused portfolio instead of chasing volume.If you've ever frozen up before an ask, stared at a "wish list" of donors with no idea who to call first, or wondered why the industry keeps telling you a major gift takes 18 months to close, this is your show.You'll leave every episode with one clear thing to do on Monday morning. Hit follow and start building real momentum.
