Show Notes
Donor acquisition is up, but retention is still a struggle. And your board? Supportive in theory, but silent in practice. Sound familiar?
In this episode of Ask a Responsive Fundraiser, Barbara O’Reilly, CFRE — founder of Windmill Hill Consulting and a 30-year fundraising veteran — helps us unpack two of the most persistent challenges nonprofits face today.
You’ll learn:
• Why first-time donors often walk away (and how to change that)
• The real reasons board members freeze when it’s time to fundraise
• How to coach your board into confident, authentic fundraising advocates
• What internal markers signal readiness for a capital campaign
Barbara brings sharp insight, encouragement, and a practical mindset rooted in decades of experience with institutions like Harvard and the American Red Cross.
