In this episode of The Donor Centric Approach, Orlando sits down with Dr. Daniel Meola, co-founder and president of Life-Giving Wounds, a Catholic ministry dedicated to bringing Christ’s healing to adult children of divorce and separation.
Dan shares his powerful story of how his personal wounds became the seed of a national ministry, the challenges and surprises of building and sustaining Life-Giving Wounds, and the lessons he’s learned about integrating mission and fundraising. Together, we explore:
Why fundraising is ministry — not just a means to support it.
How vulnerability, trust, and honesty are central to both healing and donor relationships.
Practical lessons in building sustainable fundraising programs, from major gifts to monthly donors.
Why caring for donors spiritually (yes, even through prayer!) is as essential as showing them impact.
This conversation is both deeply moving and incredibly practical for nonprofit and ministry leaders who carry wounds of their own while trying to lead with faith and vision.
