A huge thank you to Keegan M. Bell, CFRE, Executive Vice President at the Irvine Public Schools Foundation, for joining me on Episode 10 of the Mastering Fundraising podcast.
Keegan shared powerful insights on how to create layered donor relationships—connections that go beyond a single point of contact to involve development staff, executive leaders, and program teams. His approach reframes donor cultivation as a shared organizational responsibility and a reflection of leadership, not just fundraising.
A few takeaways that really stood out:
Donors should experience at least three types of relationships within an organization: development, executive, and program.
Fundraising work is leadership work—it’s about vision, alignment, and shared purpose.
Keegan’s personal philosophy of “refilling the cup of others” reminds us that supporting and sustaining our colleagues is just as vital as stewarding our donors.
This conversation will resonate with anyone striving to build a stronger, more collaborative culture around fundraising and leadership.
🎧 Listen to Episode 10 of Mastering Fundraising to hear Keegan’s full insights and practical advice for every nonprofit leader.
