Author Description

The Conversation is a wide collection of donors and nonprofits providing their insight into how fundraising and philanthropic engagement can be improved. Under complete anonymity, nearly two thousand people from the philanthropic and nonprofit community offer candid and realistic advice for both sides to reflect and challenge longstanding beliefs and practices within the sector. The conversations featured in The Conversation are both figurative and literal, with donors sharing advice and experiences, while nonprofits share their challenges and questions that donors address and answer. The Conversation aims to capture the elements of humanity and transparency that are often discarded by both sides. Yes, fundraising is about money, but it is first about the causes where that money is meant to go. The Conversation is a redirection towards that understanding.
