| Innovation Doesn't Have to Be a Scary Word | 24 Oct 2024 | 00:18:36 | |
Q&A:
Coaching Question: Innovation can be pointless if it’s not functional. Everyone can think of ideas, but not everyone can think of ideas that are do-able in the constraints of time and resource a charity might face. So, let’s think about functional creativity in your role. Pick one area of your role that you find challenging or laborious and write it down on a piece of paper. Draw a rectangle around it. What is in the top right corner, not out of the box? If you’re a copywriter struggling to keep up with the demands of copy, outside the box might be another hire to help, so maybe the top wright corner is utilising the power of generative AI to help with creative prompts or the brunt work, so you can simplify your role? Whatever your role is, think about that top right corner, and how you can bring functional innovation to your role. About Charitabl. The Charitabl.

| What Would 100% Success Look Like? | 24 Oct 2024 | 00:11:33 | |
Q&A:
Coaching Question: Think of your organisation, or your role within it. What would 100% success look like? Doubling the org’s income, 100 regular major donors, whatever it is.

| ONLY MURDERS… A Chat About Motivation | 24 Oct 2024 | 00:18:39 | |
Q&A:
Coaching Question: What’s your motivation at work? Get real and honest. When we work for a charity, we take for granted that all motivations are honest and true, but that is simply not the case. There might be a mix of motivations at work, and even more, a mix of motivations on the teams you’re on or leading. If you can write down your motivation, and the why behind that motivation, you might uncover something deeper about what is driving your momentum at work. About Charitabl. The Charitabl.

| 06. It’s Not Just About WHAT You Say, It’s About HOW You Say It… | 11 Jul 2024 | 00:15:22 | |
Here are a few of our best tips for storytelling well:
1. Be Vulnerable: Vulnerability, when used appropriately, can be a powerful tool in building connections, but overuse can come off as manipulative. 2. Be Passionate: Passion draws people in and can inspire them to engage more deeply with your message or product. 3. Be Understanding: Consider your audience's time constraints and life circumstances to show respect and empathy. 4. Be Intentional: Develop relationships with a clear purpose in mind, knowing the desired outcome. 5. Be Yourself: Authenticity is crucial in building trust and genuine connections with your audience.

| 04. Turning Stories Into Lessons Your Donors Will Love | 11 Jul 2024 | 00:13:25 | |
In this episode, Mike and Jordan introduce an effective framework for engaging donors through storytelling. They discuss Mike’s "story → paradox → lesson" model, which transforms simple narratives into thought-provoking content. By turning stories into lessons, charities can go beyond merely sharing sympathy-inducing stories to empathy-building narratives and establish themselves as guides and thought leaders. The episode includes practical examples of stories that use this method, such as Mike’s time in Iraq at the height of the war with ISIS. Listeners will learn how to contextualise stories for their supporters, to add value and inspire their donor base. About Charitabl The Charitabl.

| 02. Cutting Through Compassion Fatigue | 11 Jul 2024 | 00:17:50 | |
No one will ever care as much about a charity’s cause than the people working in it. Instead of assuming your donors care about you, assume your donors are tired - spiritually, emotionally, physically, and creatively. Your donors are on one side of the chasm, and your beneficiaries are on the other. From there, you can step them across the chasm, and help them feel more connected to you than ever before.

| 01. People Don't Give To People... | 11 Jul 2024 | 00:13:21 | |
It’s an age-old saying – ‘People give to people.’ But, what if it’s more true that people really give for people?
Giving to people provokes sympathy.
Giving for people provokes empathy.
Sympathy is a hand-out, and usually driven by fear. Empathy is a hand-up, and is driven by hope. And hope is the only thing more powerful than fear.
By inciting empathy, you make your donors the hero, and empower them to change the world with you.
So, does your communication with donors provoke sympathy or empathy?

| 06. Speaking The Language Of Your Donors | 19 May 2024 | 00:05:31 | |
Do you speak at, speak to, or speak with your donors...? One of the common mistakes we can make as fundraisers and charities is to speak ‘at’ or ‘to’ our donors, and miss connecting with them. We can be so passionately focused (in a well-intentioned way) on the cause for which we serve, that we run the risk of missing the mark in communication and marketing. We end up building content from the inside out not the donor back. One way to think about the shift is from organisation-focused marketing to donor-centric marketing. With every piece of communications you release, ask yourself the question: Am I speaking at, speaking to, or speaking with our donors...?

| 05. Nail "The Ask" and Raise More Money | 19 May 2024 | 00:12:41 | |
We’ve all read beautiful stories and heart-warming emails that paint an incredible picture of what a charity does. But without a clear call-to-action, a story isn’t enough to lead to a donation. Fundraising = relationship development for a purposeful outcome. To help all your comms lead to a purposeful outcome, try including these three details as your call to action: What do you want me to do? How much does it cost? How do I do it? “You can contribute to this incredible program in Kenya, and feed some of the world’s most hungry children. It costs just $25 to feed a child for a week. You can give today on the Charitabl. App.” It’s simple, clear, and leaves the donor asking no questions. Take the guesswork out of donating by nailing the ask. About Charitabl. The Charitabl.

| 04. How To Accelerate Your Best Fundraising Ideas | 19 May 2024 | 00:09:59 | |
Did your great idea get off to a flying start, but seemed to plateau? Not sure why? Your best ideas likely started with vision and relationships in the front seat – dreaming about all it could be and who you could do it with. Then systems and admin came in to help you keep the idea moving and add structure to your idea. But if you’re like us, it’s easy to get swamped in systems and admin, and lose the vision and relationships you started with! An idea led by systems and admin will never grow. Take whatever idea you’re working on – a campaign, a strategy, or a plan. Is it still led by vision and relationships, and growing? Or have you become bogged down in systems and admin? Recover your vision. Dream again. Bring some people in with you. Then, you’ll see your idea grow once more. You can find the link to the car graphic here. About Charitabl. The Charitabl.

| 03. How To Make Your Donors Love You! | 19 May 2024 | 00:11:17 | |
Let's be honest... the thing that we are all most passionate about is... ourselves! The same goes for our donors as well. So what if... instead of trying to make people passionate about your cause, you were passionate about THEM first? Your donors will be as passionate about you as you are about them. When you make people passionate, they will consume from you. What’s the difference between an appeal letter that goes straight in the bin and one that leads to a major gift? One that makes your donor feel like you see them, and that their contribution makes a huge difference for the people they care about. Passion = consumption. About Charitabl. The Charitabl.

Mike and Joce discuss the 5 C's of Donor Engagement:
Which ones do you do well? Which ones could you work on? Companies like Uber, Airbnb, and Woolworths are all successful companies because they utilise these five C’s. If you can tick all these boxes, you can give your donors a seamless, accessible path to donating, and raise more money for your important causes. About Charitabl. The Charitabl.

| 01. What Even Is Fundraising Anyway? | 19 May 2024 | 00:11:40 | |
Mike and Joce discuss the definition of fundraising: relationship development for a purposeful outcome. They talk about why developing relationships is important, rather than just treating your supporters like an ATM. They also discuss how to embed strategies to lead to a purposeful outcome. Whether you are reaching supporters through emails, socials, campaigns and appeals, face to face fundraising or events - we hope this definition is useful in helping you shape your communications, so you can increase your impact as an organisation.
