Description

What if your next major hire isn’t a person, but a system?


In this episode, I pull back the curtain on the “NextGen Fundraising Engine”, a proven campaign system that replaces the need for a marketing coordinator, development associate, and monthly giving manager. If you’re stuck in a cycle of burnout, chasing one-off donations, or hiring your way out of a revenue gap, this episode is your permission slip to do it differently. You’ll learn why the smartest nonprofits are stealing proven growth tactics from e-commerce brands, and how to streamline your fundraising, storytelling, and donor retention strategies without bloating your payroll. This isn’t hustle culture. This is what it looks like to fundraise smarter.

Topics:

  • Why hiring more staff isn’t the answer (and what to build instead)
  • The difference between a capacity issue and a clarity issue
  • How e-commerce strategies are helping nonprofits grow faster
  • The three essential fundraising functions most orgs try to hire for—and how to replace them with one system
  • Viral partnerships & the Social Street Team® Method
  • Monthly donor engines that work (without outsourcing)
