Episode 77
Episode 77 of Tales From the Trenches Tuesdays features Clay Buck, a fundraiser for over thirty years. He has held just about every position in fundraising from Development Assistant and Grant Writer to Chief Development officer. Clay also started his own individual giving and fundraising communications consulting firm in 2018, is the creator of The Fundraiser’s Planner and co-host of the #1 fundraising podcast “Fundraising is Funny”.
Clay holds a BA from the University of Georgia and a Master of Fine Arts from Michigan State University. He has been a Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) for over 10 year and is a certified Master Trainer and Coach. Clay teaches fundraising, storytelling, and strategic planning at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. AFP Las Vegas recognized Clay with the Outstanding Faculty award and the Lifetime Achievement Award.
In this episode, we discuss how he landed in the fundraising world. We then chat about philanthropy growing up, as well as non-traditional fundraising.
If we lived in a perfect society…and all of those needs were taken care of, there would still be some human who needs something. And there would still be some human who wants to help. Which means that there still needs to be enablers and empowers of generosity.
