PAGE 2 Simone Joyaux, ACFRE, Adv Dip, FAFP, world-renowned fundraiser, author, board member, partner, icon, mentor, teacher, hero, and activist—passed away on Sunday, May 2. Simone was a guest on this Nonprofit Coach Podcast many times over the years. For her final episode, she directed the title would be “Nonprofit Coach: Simone Joyaux Uncensored Thoughtful, Inspirational Philanthropy.” If you knew her, I am sure you agree that title sums up her incredible career. She mentored me on the importance of this podcast, and on every episode, her passion for the fundraising profession, the success of all Boards of Directors, and all charities they serve were on display for all. Her unending drive for excellence flows through every episode.  She and I spoke at the same events around the world for many years. We were both invited to participate in the 2000 AFP Faculty Academy (photo) and served on several committees together.  When I reached out to her life partner Tom Ahern to ask if it would be ok to host this special edition of the Nonprofit Coach “In Celebration of Simone,” he said, “Of course, Ted!!! That would be wonderful.”  Simone was unfailingly kind and tough all at the same time. Simone was riveting, inspirational, and a speaker of truth. Future generations of donors and fundraisers alike will reference and rely upon the wisdom in her many books and lectures.   In this edition of the Nonprofit Coach, we share memories and the wisdom of Simone that future generations will benefit from. Join us, call in, and share as we gather “In Celebration of Simone.”

The holidays are prime time for giving and receiving. We focus on "year-end giving," knowing that it is the most opportune time for individuals to invest with gratitude in the issues they care about. But what happens after we receive those gifts? Yes, we thank our donors (and quickly!) but what happens next? Stewardship, one of the oldest concepts in philanthropy, is also the most neglected. Why we neglect it is complicated: too little time, limited resources, stretched staff -- all excuses that in fact are not donor-focused which is what we simply must be. Kay Sprinkel Grace will once again give us her holiday gift of insights, challenges and best practices: this year focused on being better stewards of our most important resource, our donors.
