In this episode, we’re talking about Fast-Track Fundraising—how to raise more money, even if your social media audience feels tiny (or non-existent!). I’m sharing the bold strategies that helped nonprofits crush their Giving Tuesday goals—like one small organization raising record-breaking dollars with less than 1,500 followers. We’ll also take a close look at the 2024 Giving Tuesday numbers—$3.6 billion raised in the U.S. alone—and uncover why some nonprofits thrived while others didn’t. Spoiler: It’s not about going viral. It’s about activating the networks you already have and leaning into strategies like building a Social Street Team™. If you’re ready to ditch outdated fundraising tactics and unlock real growth, this episode is for you!
