How Hard Can it Be?
Podcast Description
Welcome to How Hard Can it Be? After working in and with the nonprofit sector for a combined forty years or more, we have seen time and again just how fundraising is minimised to a task, for someone, over yonder, to scroll a rich list and make an ask. After all, how hard can fundraising actually be? We believe that the single biggest catayst to increasing philanthropic giving is good fundraising. With this in mind, we’ve begun a collection of conversations with extraordinary individuals that wholly and radically embrace the art and the science of fundraising to power philanthropic giving. Each shares their unique perspective on what it takes to build a thriving culture of philanthropy. Please do send us your feedback. We’d love to hear from you!

Philanthropy Squared Academy
We’re delighted to be joined by Tim Dolan ,CEO, University of Hawai’i Foundation and Vice President of Advancement at the University of Hawaii, for a conversation about what fundraising looks like when relationships are at the heart of every major gift.
Tim makes a thoughtful case for listening as one of the core disciplines of major gift fundraising: understanding what donors care about, where their values lie, and how organisations can respond with authenticity rather than assumption. He also questions whether long-held models, like the traditional donor pyramid, still serve us today.
Tim is one of the most thoughtful voices in fundraising and is certainly, one of the most loved.
