There are two ways to share knowledge with a prospective donor: you can (push) information at them or you can (pull) them in with a story!

Wow, amazing, I am learning

I need a donor

[@gailevans5168]

This is such a great reminder to spend less time with marginal donors and more time with the ones who are truly committed to our organization! It's easy to get caught up with trying to be all things to all people. To be successful, we need to be focused on those who can do the most good for our organizations.

[@LynnePedigoRidayReiter]

I am brand new at fundraising. I am not even finished with this video and I have to say it's moving me to tears! Thank you so much.

[@heavenlyshalom3408]

This is wonderful, Amy. I work with nonprofit organization in uganda which helps children and old people we've ended our second year, this information from Seth is helpful and may God bless you so much 🙏🙏

[@haitichristianorphanage2945]

As we have been helping children in Haiti for the past 54 years changing lives one life at a time. I have heard many advise but this is by far the best. I believe this can help us help more lives in Haiti and hopefully around the world.

[@Nickyaksich]

Holy crap...as a church planter (church entrepreneur) this is mind blowing. Probably the clearest I have heard this.

[@coryc1904]

As a church planter, you think crap is holy? ❤️🤳

[@SuellenMalloy]

Perfect for me. This is my fourth year as a charity cyclist for Tour De Pink, Philly to Delaware this year. My fund raising is dragging and the advice is just what I needed. Riding is my way of finding peace. Partnering with the amazing community of Young Survival Coalition is my way of giving back. The survivors are a wonderful pool of subject matter experts that support, guide and educate each other on the options of work through living with cancer. Up till now I didn't need to say anything out loud...but my new life is away from the corporate structure of my past. I'm ready to do that : ) Thanks!!

[@michelleklinger8966]

This is fantastic, Amy. I work with nonprofits everyday and this information from Seth is simple, clear and hopeful.

[@kendickson8688]

playing this video for our board of directors TODAY!

[@lisakalal5274]

This was fantastic! I work for a United Way and am part of a strategy to connect with all the "weird" people. Seth's insight was particularly relevant and so appreciated.

[@anthonycaridi9674]

Hi I am a new risk taker I want to empower the world to do it better I have a plan that needs you .you are pure joy to listen and Seth Godin is heaven sent

[@brucebouchard771]

Very useful (Both Seth Godin and Gail Perry). Six months out from announcing 4.5M Campaign for a beloved National Landmark Theatre in Vermont. Strong Board Team, supported by a killer ED who is a fund raising monster....who gets it. Felt all of our advance work is in strong shape....these two videos simply reinforced. Thank you for what you do. Here we go!!

[@bigclicksyndicatellc9986]

Great chat with Seth. Loved the point that NP's need to demonstrate that "people like you support organizations like this."

[@mindisthelimitation]

Great Video. Thanks

[@user-ki5lz8ln5u]

Great show and thank you for what you do to make our world a better place for our children

[@dirk3516]

Amy is speaking English so clearly, so that I was able to understand almost the full conversation. Unfortunately, I needed to listen Seth Godin's words sometimes four times, but it is okay. I just listen again right now...

[@jezicokechukwu8731]

I love this! It makes me to know that there are faithful people who are still seeing the better future and needs people around them to see through their lenses. Knowing such people always gladdens my heart! So we can both reach the world for Christ. Always remember TTS in your plans.

[@ilovelamar3]

[@andarachforesttherapy]

This was great information for my next Crowdfunded campaign - and I love the work and advice of Seth Godin too.

[@cpadamao4697]

It's a pleasure to know you. GREAT.

[@TRFMichael]

Seth speaks with great clarity and confidence. It's the confidence that is striking. Thanks, Amy.

[@barthungerford1667]

Seth brings good ideas to life ! I believe Seth's idea of Focus, Story-Tell, or Fail, also applies to for-profit work. thank you for highlighting Seth and his ideas.

[@lifewithattitudekym6244]

Thanks for sharing this, can’t wait to apply these lessons 🙌🏾

This came at a right time. We are actually a organisation that looks at building the nation of Kenya through young entrepreneurship through growth of businesses and leadership

Your donors relate to the story, not the facts, I totally agree. Tell your best story with passion and they will care and donate.

Good post Amy. I just started a new gig that focuses on fundraising and this video is very helpful.

[@dezarabeck]

This was great information! Thank you.

[@slamdunk406]

Oakland School for the Arts needs to watch this. One of their teachers told me my donation to their school wasn’t welcomed and that they would refund me before subsequently insulting me on social media, so I asked for my money back. I gave my donation instead to Ronald McDonald House Charities. They were happy to have my donation. Lesson from this is say thank you to people who donate to your organization and don’t tell them their donation wasn’t welcomed.

[@rosesrose545]

yes i am inspired and truly found this video very helpful - thank you.

Fantastic!

[@DrewGneiser]

Great interview! Love this. Thanks Amy.

[@BrenMurphy1]

Yes, amazing insights and some really revealing thoughts on how sharing your story makes for authentic and meaningful connection. It's not about the problem, or even the solution, but your approach, your story, your place in the "doing things" space. I've shared my thoughts on fundraising ideas kzbin.info/www/bejne/iH7OZmxmjM99eKs

[@purushotham129]

Excellent insights, we had not thought.

[@HITGFRY]

Yes, thank you very much. Just entering this world and looking for advice.

[@thomasryan9664]

Hello Amy Seth made a lot of sense and he sounds like he's talking from experience. Mike

[@JebehKawah]

Great video. I'm inspired to craft a much better message for my target audience. Thank you.

[@stephanieawuah]

Wow! Thanks

[@INTEGRALLPMEDIA]

I am crazy about you. Excellent interview.

[@GiveWP]

Seth makes a great point about donor behavior and purchasing -- in many ways donors are outsourcing their own volunteerism.

[@GodskidUr1]

I am in the beginning stages if my none profit organization The "Joy project" and this was informative. Thank you much (😊

[@cinnamontaylor3741]

I like this.

[@Tracymmo]

Great interview. I will say though, much as I hate to, that I have been an unemployed fundraiser for long streches since the recession hit. In my medium sized Rust Belt city we have a ton of nonprofits and a high level of foundation and individual philanthropy, but we also have a dearth of midlevel positions. Lots at the senior and entry levels. Thankfully, I finally found a great job, but I had several miserable years of under/unemployment.

[@4thwalltvandfilm]

Wow. Great points there

[@rev3energy]

Just got a gig to help make a video for a fundraiser. This helps with my understanding in creating new ideas . Thanks

[@christypaul6104]

excellent!

Critical to create tribes! Move away from average people. Very thought provoking!
