And you can use start using them as soon as the episode is over!

Episode 29: How to Have Successful Year End Fundraising
2021/10/25
The holiday season is important for nonprofit fundraising, but no week can even compare to the last week of the year. Year End campaigns can bring in 15-25% (or more!) of an organization's overall revenue. But how do you make sure your Year End campaign is as effective as it can be? Ryan and Steve walk through easy things you can do to maximize the impact you can have in the last few days of the year. What do you say? Where do you say it? When do you say it?
Episode 28: More Ways to Know if Your Fundraising is Working
2021/10/18
Unintentionally, Ryan and Steve turned this into a two-part episode. Last week, they talked through a micro view of how to evaluate your fundraising (ROI, income generated overall, performance of each impact).  But this week is a macro look--if your fundraising is (or isn't) working, what does that look like for your organization's "vital signs"? And more importantly, what do you do if you don't like what you see? Also: Warm cookies Repeat, repeat...repeat Golfer who disappeared...never to be heard from again (not really, but he did disappear from the PGA Tour)
Episode 27: How to Determine if Your Fundraising is Working or Not
2021/10/11
You put in all that hard work to create your fundraising impacts and get them to the right donors at the right time. But, then, how do you know if it's working? Ryan and Steve talk about what metrics to follow, which don't matter, and which can deceive you into thinking you're doing better than you really are.
Episode 26: How to Retain Donors
2021/10/04
The only thing as important as getting new donors is KEEPING the donors you've acquired.  Ryan and Steve walk through how to calculate donor retention, what a good retention percentage looks like, and how to raise yours if it's not where it should be. 
Episode 25: Reasons Why Your Email Didn't Raise Money

Episode 23: How to use data to increase fundraising
2021/09/13
Data. The database. Donor records. They're not as flashy as copywriting or art design, but they can have just as big an impact on your fundraising results as anything else.  In this special episode, Kris Hoots (President and Founder of Oneicity) joins Ryan and Steve to talk about: Why you should love data. Ways you could be using it incorrectly. How using the right data can instantly improve your fundraising ROI. 
Episode 22: Your Donors Are Wrong
2021/09/06
Donors are the lifeblood of your organization, and their support is what allows you to accomplish your mission.  ...but they're also wrong. A lot.  Ryan and Steve talk about the most common ways donors are wrong and how to engage with them and (nicely) set them straight.  Also: Ryan talks about an email he never received Why recommendations about longer social posts miss the point A book to help you find courage.  Find us at oneicity.com/pod

Episode 20: (Still) Don't Thank Your Donors - How to Validate Them Instead
2021/08/23
Last Episode, Ryan and Steve talked about why you shouldn't be thanking your donors (and what you should do instead). This week they go over the ways you can validate your donors. Also: Steve gripes about how unhappy he was with Episode 19 Ryan opens an invitation for an event but isn't sure what it's for. Steve uses alliteration. Ryan saves the goldfish.

Episode 18: How to Get More Undesignated Gifts
2021/08/09
Just like Ryan and his kids...you don't love all your gifts equally. Undesignated gifts, that can be used for any part of your organization or mission, have the biggest impact...but how do you get more of them? Also: Ryan unboxes a piece of mail live on air Your fundraising should be emotional, but your fundraising strategy shouldn't be The impact of a two word email Hard butter in Canada (nope, not a typo)
