About this episode
As the host of The Intentional Fundraiser Podcast, it brings me immense joy to connect with dedicated fundraisers and nonprofit leaders like you, who are working tirelessly to make the world a more just and equitable place.
In our recent episode, we had the privilege of interviewing the incredible Brooke Richie-Babbage, a seasoned nonprofit leader and social entrepreneur with over 23 years of experience. Brooke is the founder and CEO of Bending Arc, a social impact strategy and digital content firm that partners with nonprofit leaders and philanthropic institutions to launch and scale high-impact nonprofits. She is also the host of the Nonprofit Mastermind podcast and serves as the Director of the Social Justice Accelerator at the Urban Justice Center and the NetLab Initiative at the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation.
During our conversation with Brooke, we delved deep into the core elements of a robust fundraising engine and explored strategies to attract and engage donors effectively. She shared invaluable insights on the importance of aligning your organization's strategic vision with its fundraising efforts and offered practical advice on how to cut through the chaos that often surrounds nonprofit leadership.
Brooke's wisdom and expertise are not to be missed, especially as we approach the fourth quarter, a crucial time for fundraising. Her tips on building relationships, focusing on cultivation, and practicing time-blocking will undoubtedly help you navigate these challenges with confidence and purpose.
