Angelique Albert believes that scaling a mission takes bold investments in marketing, the courage to make unconventional leadership decisions, and the willingness to make a case loud enough for the right partners to find you.

Imagine getting a $50 MILLION dollar unrestricted gift. It changes what’s possible for your organization.

Angelique and I get into the practical side of growth, and what it looked like for Native Forward Scholars Fund to go from spending just $20,000/year on marketing to executing a full rebrand, upgrading systems, and intentionally putting themselves in the right rooms.

Relational equity is going to reframe the way you think about donors. Did you know loneliness is now considered a public health crisis, comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes a day?!

In this bonus keynote from the Monthly Giving Summit, I’m sitting down with Allison Trowbridge, founder of Copper Books, to talk all about relationships and the compounding wealth you build by investing in people over time.

You’ll hear Allison’s personal story of going from a venture-backed startup with millions in funding to losing everything – as well as her favorite practical ways to strengthen donor relationships and community connections.

If you want to build a more sustainable movement, you’ll want to listen to every minute of this episode.

Did you know monthly donors often have 85%+ retention rates, while many nonprofits are lucky to retain just 40% of one-time donors?

In this episode, I’m asking you to take a hard look at your fundraising calendar and answer one simple question: Is monthly giving actually a priority? For most organizations, it’s not.

We’ll talk about the shift from constantly raising money to building predictable, sustainable revenue, what metrics you should be tracking, and why making monthly giving a core part of your strategy is one of the most important moves you can make right now.

Can you believe the tools that once required a full development team and a 6-figure budget can now be built in a matter of MONTHS with “vibe AI” for a fraction of the cost?

In this solo episode, I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes look into my business, and how I took my $12K-$18K Monthly Giving Mastermind and turned it into a $499/year AI-powered tool that helps nonprofits build and grow their recurring revenue.

I’m walking through what’s actually possible for nonprofits right now, from automating intake and donor communications to volunteer matching and grant research, and how to start identifying what your organization could build next.

Monthly Giving Retreat: Learn more + apply by 4/10 here!

What season is your monthly giving program in right now — planting, growing, or stuck in a plateau? In this episode, Dana Snyder breaks down why knowing your season matters and how the right environment can move your program forward faster than you'd get there alone.

Dana shares an inside look at the 2026 Monthly Giving Retreat — an intimate, women-led gathering for nonprofit fundraising leaders held May 6–8 at The Portal in Serenbe, Georgia. From the peer learning that happens when every person in the room is working on the same thing, to the intentional design of the space itself, this episode makes the case for going deep on one thing instead of a little on everything.

You'll hear real results from past attendees — including one leader who grew from 30 to 105 monthly donors and another who finally invited 17,000 email subscribers to give monthly — and what it actually looks like to leave a retreat with a plan, not just inspiration.

Applications close April 10th. Three spots remain.

If you've ever been the only fundraiser in the room running the gala and fielding board questions about why an auction underperformed, today's guest has been exactly where you are.

Andrew Edwards spent years on the front lines of nonprofit fundraising, from coaching small shops, to scaling 60+ events nationally at the Epilepsy Foundation.

In this episode, we’re getting into what helps small teams focus, larger teams scale, and fundraisers at every level work smarter, how to make the case for attending a conference (even with limited budgets), why investing in your team pays off, and how to approach networking and planning so you don’t waste the opportunity!

What if the thing standing between your nonprofit and a million dollar gift wasn't your programming, your data or even your ask, but your story?

Emmy Award-winning journalist and StoryLede founder Bofta Yimam is here to talk about why stepping into visibility is no longer optional for nonprofit leaders. She shares a powerful example of a leader who landed international speaking gigs, doubled her organization’s revenue, and later received a $1M gift.

We break down how to use LinkedIn to reach donors and board members, how to turn your story into content that builds trust, and why visibility is a leadership responsibility. The real question is: are you willing to push past the discomfort and step into the visibility game?
