Description

Many nonprofit leaders hesitate to invest in additional fundraising staff—often out of a scarcity mindset. But what if that hesitation is actually costing your organization the opportunity to grow?

In this episode of the Abundant Vision Fundraising Podcast, Tom Dauber breaks down how to make the case for hiring fundraisers, development officers, and donor-facing staff. Whether you're a CEO, CDO, or senior development leader, you'll learn:

  • Why fundraisers are revenue generators, not cost centers
  • How under-investment leads to missed major gift opportunities
  • What board members and CFOs often misunderstand about fundraising ROI
  • Why staff burnout and turnover erode donor trust
  • How to scale impact by scaling support

If you're trying to grow your mission, you can't afford to under-resource your fundraising team. Let’s talk about how to change the conversation.
