ALL I NEED IS A MIRACLE: HAIL MARY FUNDRAISING DOESN’T WORK

Episode 1: Nonprofit Hail Mary Fundraising

The Roll With It Baby podcast, where nonprofit lifers T. Clay Buck and Ephraim Gopin riff, rant and rave about the nonprofit sector and yes, offer help as well, all against the backdrop of a hit 80s song.

This week’s 80s hit? “All I Need Is A Miracle” by Mike and the Mechanics.

We discuss “hail mary fundraising” where CEO’s wait for 6 and 7 figure checks to simply drop into their laps. It’s all about major donors. Small and midsize donors? Meh, who needs them?!

We rant about this type of fundraising and discuss ways to grow your nonprofit through small and medium size gifts.

For the football fans: Here is video of The Miracle At The Met that Ephraim references at the opening of the episode.
