Episode 95
Episode 95 of Tales From the Trenches Tuesdays again features Andrew Olsen, Executive Vice President of Fundraising Solutions at DickersonBakker. In that capacity he leads both the firm’s direct response fundraising agency and their major gift consulting and messaging practice. He’s on a mission to help nonprofit leaders become more effective so that they can make a greater impact in the world. Throughout his 25 year career he’s served over 1,000 nonprofits in the U.S. and Canada, and helped them raise more than $1 Billion.
In today’s episode, we discuss diversity in fundraising and touch on some of the more memorable fundraising experiences. We also discuss authentic donor relationships, as well as metrics that matter.
Our role as fundraisers is to invite people in. We’re facilitators. It shouldn’t be about soliciting or hitting up. We should be inviting people to make a difference in the work.
