The Talking Shop podcast
“You rated this person as having a capacity to give $1.5MM, but I met with them, and they can clearly give upwards of $25MM. What gives?!”
This month on Talking Shop, co-hosts Dave and Erin explored a tale as old as fundraising time that costs advancement shops a lot of time and energy: the communication breakdown between fundraisers and prospect researchers.
Dave and Erin have been on both sides of this proverbial fence, and they talked through suggested solutions to the silos based on their experience.

The Development Debrief podcast host Kathryn Van Sickle made a big move in May: she relocated from Manhattan, New York to New Haven, Connecticut, to start a new role as Director of Parents Gifts at Yale.
This month, Kathryn interviewed some fundraising game-changers on the topics of making moves, the power of proximity, and how to cultivate a sense of pride in yourself and your teammates.
