    Authenticity and Generosity
    I came to this podcast for fundraising tips and advice. I stayed not only because of its consistently quality content that both challenges and inspires, but for the authenticity that Mallory brings to the space. She is real and raw and you can find yourself in her story and her solutions. Mallory speaks about generosity and she also models it with her gift to this community.

    The essential toolkit for newbies!
    As a newcomer to the fundraising universe, I’ve jumped headfirst into all things Finder-related, and let me tell you—Mallory’s podcast is a goldmine! Her resources are like having a personal cheerleader in the wild world of fundraising, especially when budgets are tighter than my favorite pair of jeans after the holidays. From insightful episodes to free webinars packed with practical tips, Mallory makes navigating this landscape feel like a breeze. If you’re looking to level up your fundraising game without breaking the bank, this podcast is a must-listen!
  • MorganSydney
    A gem for the nonprofit world!
    Love the variety of topics and speakers! As a young nonprofit fundraiser- this podcast is a great resource for weekly listening.
  • LeenZembrolak
    Fun, Feeling, Fu…dge
    One of the things that I love the most about this podcast is the genuine authenticity. It’s usually two folks talking about the really realness of working in the nonprofit sector. Mallory infuses laughter, and feeling into the conversations and work. As you know- work is well, work. It’s hard, confusing, frustrating and isolating. Conversely, at times it’s easy, concise, clear and connecting. With an abundance mindset, Mallory helps folx in the third sector embrace a social impact lens, while offering, practical tips and tools for problem-solving everyday tactical challenges. And, sometimes, there's swearing! Above all, this podcast makes me feel seen and valued. A must have for single-person shops. Not bad for 30 minutes a week.

    How am I only just learning about this show?!
    I’ve been in the nonprofit fundraising field for 3 decades and often felt adrift and in a silo with no platforms to share not just professional information. The modern fundraiser has to juggle goals and expectations in an ever evolving, challenging landscape. Mallory’s approach with her guests opens windows into the intellectual AND emotional processes that we all go through.
  • JabberLockie

    Few podcasts are a fun, eloquent and actionable as Mallory Erickson’s What The Fundraising. As a seasoned leader with more than 20 years of experience in the sector, I listen to Mallory and What The Fundraising because it challenges my assumptions, opens new thinking for me, makes me smile, and reminds me why I do this extraordinary work!
  • Nonprofit D-Rock
    So great!
    So many insights for the nonprofit sector in perfectly-sized morsels that fit into short walks, quick breaks or brief respites during the day. Never a bad episode and I always walk away with a good idea.
  • LaurenNis
    Fuel for our work
    Fundraising can be extremely isolating and exhausting in a typical year, and is now exceedingly so thanks to the pandemic and all that came after. Mallory is the coach, leader, friend—and hype gal!—we all need to not grow weary of doing good, in a most critical time.
  • Sarah B Kerr
    Fantastic interviews w/ empathic & energetic host!

    Important + Enjoyable Professional Development
    I really appreciate this podcast. I receive so many valuable nuggets of information -- and important reminders to take care of myself-- as i navigate my fundraising career journey. Mallory does an exceptional job at holding space for topics that fundraisers need to be discussing in more depth. I feel seen and understood and part of a much larger community as a result of the conversations she shares on this show. It really does make a big difference - and also makes my commutes much more productive + enjoyable!

    Taking the Mystery Out of Helping People Invest in a Better World
    Philanthropy is about helping people make a difference in the lives of others and the world. Sounds simple, right? Not always. If you’re a nonprofit ceo, a front-line fundraiser, or a volunteer leader, helping people invest in your organization or cause can feel daunting. Enter Mallory Erickson and her guests on What the Fundraising. This podcast takes the mystery out of building a healthy, sustainable nonprofit. The weekly conversations touch on the practical and strategic as well as the human and compassionate sides of changing the world, or at least one corner of it. It’s a must listen, reminding you, “yes, you can make a difference and you’re not alone.”
  • nik_castle
    So approachable. Easy to integrate!
    Mallory seems to effortlessly pull amazingly useful information about fundraising from her guests and then immediately and intuitively address the reactions that I’m having internally that might prevent me from actually integrating and implementing the tips I’m hearing. I’ve already made some changes to my tiny habits after listening to the Real Relationships series and I am feeling pretty revitalized about a part of my work that I was putting off because I was a bit intimidated about it
  • thesavvyfundraiser

  • PerryRad
    Fantastic topics
    If non-profit is about generosity, What the Fundraising has become a home for thought-leaders in philanthropy to practice what they preach and give back to other professionals in the field by sharing deep insights. There much nuance to our work and many specific skills that help accomplish it - these episodes help express more about both of those facets. I’ve found this episodes useful and generative for me as a fundraising practitioner.

  • ED_A_Lee
    Helpful, practical, relatable!
    I am a new ED and raising money was originally something I was told I wouldn’t have to worry about because I had the full support of my board behind me. But, that is NOT the case and so I’ve been feeling a little stranded. This podcast has helped me feel like I CAN do this and that I’m not left out on a limb! I’m grateful!

  • Misskmaas
    A tonic for the heart of a fundraising professional
    A fresh perspective and charming personality! I love how Mallory reframes and revitalizes the field of fundraising. I have more than ten years as a fundraising professional and am beginning to feel burnt-out and out and more than a little fed up with the donor/fundraiser dynamic. I’ll be regularly turning to this podcast for inspiration.

    Advice for All of Us!
    Although this Podcast appears to target the non-profit world, the first few guests have many insights to share that will help anyone, including parents and children. I didn’t get anything done this morning because I spent my time listening to episodes 1 and 2, and I was inspired to buy the book “Chatter,” by Ethan Kross.
  • Bendicott
    Breath of fresh air
    Mallory Erickson is just what the nonprofit industry needs right now: steady voice, disruptive topics, abundance mindset, and shifting the lens on our sector to reimagine what’s possible for good. I am assured every time I hit Play that what I’m hearing is a fundamental shift in how I’ve been taught to fundraise, engage and partner. Highly recommend for any professional looking to growth personally, professionally and emotionally. What the Fundraising is good for the head and the heart.
