Description

Modern fundraising isn't just struggling—it's broken.
In this debut episode of Fundraising is Dead, Ryan Dobson and Troy Van Go expose why the old playbook of desperate asks, endless cold calls, and donor exhaustion no longer works (if it ever did).

Ryan and Troy break down the hard data behind donor attrition, shares real-world stories of donor burnout, and introduce a better way forward: relationships built on gratitude, not gimmicks.

If you're tired of chasing donors and ready to build something that actually lasts, this is where the new journey begins.

🎯 Learn why 70% of first-time donors never give again
🎯 Hear why the "Big Ask" mentality is killing your future funding
🎯 Discover what real donor development looks like (and how you can start today)

Subscribe now—because it's time to stop pretending. Fundraising is dead.
