In this episode, we’re talking about a growing trend in the sector: the rise of the desk fundraiser—a well-intentioned professional who spends more time buried in spreadsheets than building relationships. Katie & Chris share why the best fundraising doesn’t happen behind a screen—and how stepping out from behind the desk (literally and figuratively) is key to meaningful donor engagement, stronger partnerships, and long-term growth.\n\nWhether you’re a one-person development shop or leading a full fundraising team, this episode will challenge you to rethink where your time is going—and give you permission to get out there and fundraise like you mean it."}
