That’s the bold question at the heart of this conversation between your host, Dave Raley, and guest Becky Straw, Co-Founder and CEO of The Adventure Project.

What if generosity is the most underutilized force for global change?

In this episode of the Sustainable Giving podcast, host Dave Raley is joined by Woodrow Rosenbaum, Chief Data Officer of GivingTuesday, to unpack how generosity is evolving, and what that means for the future of philanthropy. From invented holidays to the power of recurring giving, Woodrow brings a data-rich and human-centered perspective that challenges the status quo.

Key Topics We Cover:

1. What Generosity Really Means Today: Reframing generosity as more than money, but rather showing up, creating belonging, and participating in community change.

3. Recurring Giving as a Game-Changer: Why GivingTuesday is one of the biggest days for new recurring donors, and how those donors are more loyal, more generous, and more engaged.

4. The Power of Invented Holidays: How cultural traction is built around invented moments like GivingTuesday, and how your organization might do the same.

Scaling Impact Without Staff: The GIVE Study and the Recurring Giving for Small Charities

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

mercredi 23 juillet 2025 • Durée 01:03:33

What if one of the key secrets to sustainable giving isn’t more staff or bigger budgets, but a better rhythm?

In the latest episode of the Sustainable Giving podcast, Dave Raley sits down with Dr. Sanjay Bindra, a full-time cardiac electrophysiologist and co-founder of the zero-staff GOSUMEC Foundation USA. Together, they explore how Sanjay is combining medical insights, personal passion, and data-driven experimentation to help small nonprofits succeed in the world of recurring giving.

Sanjay’s foundation supports scholarships for medical students at his alma mater in India – but his vision goes far beyond a single cause. He’s launching The GIVE Study, a first-of-its-kind research project designed to uncover how small, under-resourced nonprofits can thrive in recurring giving without a full-time team or flashy tech.

If you're part of the 92% of nonprofits operating under $1M, this episode is for you!

Key Topics They Discuss:

The GOSUMEC Origin Story: A Phone Call, A Birthday, and a Bold IdeaLearn how a single conversation on his wife’s birthday sparked a nonprofit built on gratitude, legacy, and long-term thinking.

Why Small is Mighty: Debunking the “Miniaturized Large Nonprofit” MythSanjay challenges conventional wisdom by highlighting the unique needs and power of small, zero-staff organizations, and why they deserve their own playbook.

The GIVE Study: What Happens When You Apply Medical Rigor to Fundraising?With a research-backed framework rooted in gratitude, impact, voice, and engagement, this 12-month prospective study is designed to test recurring giving strategies for small nonprofits.

Storytelling that Sustains: How Ethical, Visual Stories Build Lasting Donor Engagement

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

mercredi 6 août 2025 • Durée 55:39

What if the stories your donors need to hear aren’t the ones you’re telling, but the ones your community is waiting to share?

In this episode of the Sustainable Giving podcast, host Dave Raley sits down with Natalie Monroe, Manager of Community Engagement at MemoryFox. Natalie brings a unique lens to the conversation, blending a background in agriculture and wine with a deep passion for visual storytelling and nonprofit impact.

Together, they explore how ethical, community-generated storytelling can foster deeper connections with donors and build the foundation for recurring, sustainable giving.

Natalie shares her journey from working with veterans-turned-farmers to helping nonprofits collect and share powerful, authentic stories using MemoryFox. She unpacks why it’s no longer enough to tell polished marketing stories about your mission, and how nonprofits can shift toward telling stories with and by their communities.

Key Takeaways Include:

1. From Wine to Veterans to Video: Natalie’s unconventional path led her from the wine industry to writing veteran stories at Farmer Veteran Coalition, then discovering the power of letting people tell their own stories through video and visuals.

2. What Is Ethical Storytelling, and Why It Matters: Sharing someone’s story isn’t just a marketing tactic. It’s a responsibility. Natalie breaks down what it means to tell stories ethically, with dignity and authenticity.

3. User-Generated Content Builds Donor Trust: Donors don’t just want stories. They want real ones. From selfie videos to short testimonials, authentic user-generated content (UGC) builds social proof, credibility, and emotional connection.

4. Storytelling as a Bridge to Sustainable Giving: Natalie shares how organizations are using MemoryFox to deepen engagement with recurring donors, particularly by spotlighting the voices of those directly impacted.

Back to the Future: Lessons in Sustainable Giving From Those Who Have Gone Before

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

mardi 19 août 2025 • Durée 57:03

What if the best glimpse into the future of fundraising isn’t found in trend reports or tech forecasts, but in the story of someone who’s already lived it?

In this episode of the Sustainable Giving podcast, host Dave Raley sits down with Ken Burnett—legendary fundraiser, author of Relationship Fundraising, and one of the earliest champions of “regular giving.”

Nearly 50 years ago, Ken stood where we are now, facing questions about how to engage donors for the long haul. What followed was a movement that reshaped generosity across the UK and Europe—and offers us a powerful preview of what’s possible for the future of giving everywhere.

From ActionAid’s early embrace of monthly donations to Greenpeace’s global regular giving campaigns, Ken shares lessons from the past that point straight toward the future of sustainable generosity. It’s a fun, thought-provoking conversation filled with wisdom, wit, and practical insights for every fundraiser who wants to build something that lasts.

Key Topics They Cover:

The origins of regular giving in the UK – How ActionAid’s embrace of monthly giving in the late ‘70s turned a small startup into one of Britain’s top charities.
UK vs. North America giving culture – Why regular giving is the norm “across the pond” and what’s holding the North American sector back.
The power of direct debit (EFT) – Why it beats credit cards for retention, and how inertia can actually be a fundraiser’s best friend.
From retention to legacy – How loyalty leads to bequests, and why focusing on the donor experience is the fastest path to long-term impact.

Lisa brings candor, humor, and wisdom as she unpacks why so much of fundraising feels outdated and what it takes to build organizations that truly last.

From awkward million-dollar donation calls to why recurring giving is still the nonprofit world’s best-kept secret, Lisa shares real stories and practical insights that will challenge how you think about generosity, boards, and building trust with donors.
