Did the pandemic afford us time for some tough conversations?
Manage episode 316014785 series 2582986
For this last episode of The Fundraising Talent Podcast of 2021, I’m delighted that my friend Samuel Butler has returned to enjoy a conversation about his recent article in Responsive’s Carefully & Critically. As a fundraiser in the UK, I am grateful that Sam offers us a perspective of fundraising that those of us on this side of Atlantic don’t always have the benefit of.
We started today’s conversation with Sam’s observation that the silver lining in the pandemic may be that it has given a lot of us an opportunity to sit back and really contemplate what it is we are doing. For the fundraising community, this has meant leaning into a number of difficult conversations that were much easier to overlook when we weren’t in the midst of a global pause. Sam and I meandered around the rest of his article and concluded with a statement he makes in the journal, “...we will need to bring the right people in to assist us in doing so; instilling in them a more robust and fearless attitude. We require fundraisers that are not reliant on the tired, tried-and-tested models that are simply not working in their current form; we need to embrace the change-makers, innovators and those of entrepreneurial spirit that are out there.”
As always, we are especially grateful to our friends at CueBack for sponsoring The Fundraising Talent Podcast.
