Why wealth screening can erode trust

It’s year-end giving season — and if your strategy still relies on wealth screens and spray-and-pray asks, it’s time for a reset.

On this week’s Nonprofit Lowdown, I’m joined by my friend (and fan favorite) Greg Warner, CEO of MarketSmart, to talk about why trust is your only currency — and how we’re getting it so, so wrong.

💥 Why wealth screens can backfire

💥 How trust has eroded across generations

💥 The myths of donor pyramids and "burn and churn" fundraising

💥 The real role of tech and transparency in major giving

💥 And the one mindset shift that will transform your entire fundraising approach

If you’re ready to stop extracting and start building partnerships with your donors, this episode is for you.
