Episode Synopsis

Physicians play a critical role in philanthropy, particularly in health care, as trusted referral agents for grateful patient giving. This episode explores why physician engagement is essential and how their involvement leads to significantly larger gifts. While doctors shouldn't be asking for donations directly, they can recognize moments of gratitude, engage meaningfully, and transition relationships to development teams. The broader nonprofit sector can apply this approach by leveraging board members, executives, or faculty as trusted connectors. In a shifting philanthropic landscape, where fewer donors are giving but at higher amounts, mastering these relationships is vital for long-term fundraising success.
