Listen "Episode 243: Why Obligatory Giving Stinks for Donors - How to Move Toward Passion Discussions"
Episode Synopsis
Too often, nonprofits treat donors as if they are obligated to give—out of duty, guilt, or long-standing expectation. This mindset not only diminishes donor joy but also undermines the potential for transformational gifts. True philanthropy is rooted in passion, where giving aligns with a donor’s values, identity, and sense of purpose. By shifting from obligation to passion, nonprofits can foster deeper loyalty, larger gifts, and lasting impact. At its core, philanthropy should be about self-determination and joy, not obligation and pressure.
